CateIncBA's photostream  

Just a quick FYI to those not accustomed to dealing with professional photographers: I copyright my photos. I am pretty liberal with allowing various people to use them. I retain control of this however. Sometimes I charge, sometimes I don't. It depends on your needs and your business or blog... as it should be. However, my work is copyrighted and registered with the US copyright office. Thanks for being a respectful Flickr user and contacting me if you're interested in a photograph.

The acception to this rule will be the photos attributed to Argentina Elections. Those are CC attribution, no derivitives, no commercial use. Please attribute as requested.

"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life's realities." -Dr. Seuss

Too many years working in photojournalism has given me both an addiction to coffee and a deep appreciation for learning new things through people I have just met.

I travel because sitting still is a horrible thing. I have couchsurfed through Patagonia and trekked through some of the most incredible scenery on this planet. I have shared homemade beer, walked along the edge of a glacier, lingered in a forest at the end of the world, slept on spare beds, floors, couches and the ground.

I hold both a bachelors in journalism and masters in anthropology and I believe firmly in the wisdom of experience. I tend to gravitate towards things that can kill me or at least leave me seriously maimed, much to the chagrin of my mother. Among my heroes are; Sebastiao Salgado, Richard Avedon, Elliott Erwitt, John Steinbeck, David Foster Wallace and Berkeley Breathed, but that doesn’t keep me from reading trashy magazines. There is always the next tattoo, much to the chagrin of my father. I hope to help people see the world better and I refuse to give up my idealism, although it may take a dent now and again.

I have been spending a considerable amount of time in Buenos Aires, Argentina since January 2008. My desire to live outside of the USA, the country where I grew up, is at one point a need to know what else exists, how others live, how I might live otherwise, and perhaps a unconscious desire to torture myself by seeking out experiences that make me work hard.

I enjoy photographing a variety of topics and in a variety of styles, so on my website you'll see the gamut. Please drop me a line if you see something you like, or even if you see something you don't. Certainly give me a call if you're looking for a photographer.
