As a journalism student in the magazine program at Columbia College in Chicago, Jeff learned that a camera can be an invaluable tool to a writer shaping the narrative arc of a story. A camera’s lens likely captured details that the eye missed when furiously scribbling scene-setting notes at a location hours or days before sitting down at a computer and injecting them into a piece.
Jeff also found that his photos could sometimes tell a story better than his words, so he started annoying the staff photographers at the student newspaper, the Columbia Chronicle, with technical questions about photography during his downtime there as a copy editor.
His photos have since appeared in the pages of DownBeat and Music Inc magazines and on Chicagoist.com. More of his work can be seen via Flickr, here.
