In this and many subsequent trips to 30 countries, I attempted to capture what evangelism LOOKS like, what church growth looks like overseas, even what faith looks like . . . all in some vastly different cultures.

A Photojournalism Retrospective: 1985 ~ After 4 years in Los Angeles, armed with degree and real-world experience, I returned to Grand Rapids to do media work for Christian Reformed World Missions: print publications, A-V programs, writing & photography. First mission-field visit: Costa Rica.

A Photojournalism Retrospective: L.A. Times Hard News ~ Sometimes the news is not good. But we need to cover it anyway: it’s extreme or unusual; it affected many people; someone died. Once I arrived to a fatal incident before first responders~then I brought blankets instead of cameras.

A Photojournalism Retrospective: 1984 Olympics ~ The Los Angeles Times assigned many of their photogs to cover the Summer Olympics and hired freelancers like me to cover their regular beats. The large Orange County bureau was a busy place and I got assigned many interesting stories.

The science, the art, the challenge, the fun, the travel ! Under the darkroom enlarger, a bright light threw the image from the negative on to light-sensitive paper. I became an expert dodger and burner, keeping light from some areas, and adding more to others to get just the look I was after.

A Photojournalism Retrospective: An Artful Dodger; A Careful Burner ~ I was 12 when first spent time in the darkroom. Seeing that photographic paper in the developing tray evolve an image before my eyes was absolute magic, and hooked me on what would become an engaging career and lifetime passion.

A Photojournalism Retrospective: The Gospel Rocks (no, seriously!) I was the band Kyro‘s drummer and one of its vocalists, songwriters, and keyboard players...a rock sound with guitars, drums, and keyboard, but fronted by a cello, violin, and flute; great harmonies, unique arrangements.
