Hi. I'm a mentor for Columbia Links this summer. I'm a picture editor at the Chicago Tribune and I used to be a newspaper photographer. I can help you out with any photo or video questions, and help you to take better pictures.

Here are some web links to a few of my favorite websites for photojournalism. Enjoy!
