  His first book, It's All Good, was one of five finalists (not winner) for Best Photography Book of 2006 at the Santa Fe Prize for Photography. His work has been published in The New York Times, Time, The Huffington Post and Huck. His work was shown on the HBO show How To Make It in America and he was featured in Cheryl Dunn's Everybody Street (2013) documentary film along with other photographers who have used New York City streets as a major subject in their work.
