From 1995 - 2007 I traveled to nine countries to investigate the power and influence of American culture and politics. Flag: An American Story (2001) and Flag International (2008) are two coffee table books featuring a series of environmental color portraits capturing Americans and the international community posing with the American flag. The portraits are accompanied by the subjects' hand-written statements reflecting their personal views of America. English translations are provided.
Inspiration: Profiles of Black Women Changing Our World is a coffee table book that shares the personal stories and unique voices of 30 extraordinary black women. Luminaries such as Patti LaBelle, Venus Williams, Susan Taylor, and Judith Jamison speak about the challenges they’ve faced and the victories they’ve won throughout their careers. These inspiring black women pass their knowledge and lessons on to a new generation of women in intimate first-person essays and stunning color portraits.
