A dead oak tree glows under a full moon in a salt pan on the southern end of the Salton Sea near Niland, California, USA, 20 January 2011.

1. How did you get involved in photography?

My father was an avid amateur photographer and I caught the bug from him at a very early age.

2. When did you get your first camera and what do you remember about it?

It’s not tooting our own horn when we tell you that we pride ourselves on having the broadest collection of content in the world. We work hard to make Newscom the type of place where you (the awesome reader, photo editor, photographer, researcher, art director, etc) can come and find those elusive images that you can’t find anywhere else. We also want to make Newscom a place where you can come once and get the quality photos on any subject you need for your publication in one stop – like the Target of the photo licensing world.

Because of this, we’re always looking to expand our collection with the right partners.
