I've now been working as a photojournalist for 20 years.
After spending 2016-2017 in Donetsk, Ukraine, I returned home to upstate New York.
I do freelance photography and video for newspapers and magazines. Contact: 607-267-4893, mfrphoto (at) gmail.com. Reach my agency Zuma Press at licensing@zumapress.com or 949-481-3747. For help buying work from my archives, contact sales (at) mfrphoto.org.
