Ted’s Snapshot Bio
Thank you for taking the time to explore my photographic journey. I hope my images inspire & resonate with you in various ways.
Welcome to my limited portfolio, which showcases top-of-the-line photography styles & types that aim to evoke various emotions. Whether it's a smile, a moment of reflection, a pause for thought, or a simple laugh, I hope to connect with you through my visual storytelling.
My journey in photography began with an Instamatic Kodak camera & a roll of black and white film. What started as a fun hobby soon transformed into a rewarding career, taking me from Boston, USA, to destinations like Brazil, UK, Australia, Hong Kong, & the Philippines.
* Perhaps it's the result of walking in the shoes of so many others, sharing tables and adjusting to life in my adopted home countries.

A recent milestones, published in the New York Post, India Times but a lifetime goal was to be published by the Associated Press (AP) and on the 11/28/23 the White Rhino photograph for the titled Delia Indonesian Rhino Birth. For my leaning conservative friends another photograph titled "Rodeo Queen" was published in the Federalist Magazine under the headline "Ten Wins in 2022." And images downloaded over 2000 photographs for newspapers, magazines, websites, travel sites, sports sites, fashion magazines, and more.
From my first major photography project (1986) involved capturing golf legend Jack Nicklaus (Golf Course Designer) during the groundbreaking at Melrose Island, South Carolina. Since then, I've eagerly embraced each new project & adventure. In 1987, my life took a turn that led me to moving to Sydney, Australia, where a serendipitous opportunity land me a freelance job photographing home games of the newly formed Sydney Kings basketball team, National Basketball League (NBL) for two exciting years.
