Documentary Photographer/Filmmaker Founder of The Rivermac
I became a documentary photographer/ filmmaker 1990 while attending MCAD, I began hopping freight trains I immersed myself in the rail riding subculture, riding the freights and living with present-day hobos and tramps over a 13 year period . The relationships I developed during these travels became the foundation of my film Long Gone and you can't I believe you have to earn the right to document another person’s life – to walk a mile in their boots, so to speak.
