In 1978 Chicago Daily Defender hired me as their principal photographer. I covered all news and sports for the newspaper as well a being photo editor\u00a0When Rep. Harold Washington announced June 1982 he was running for\u00a0Mayor I volunteered to be his campaign photographer. It was an exciting campaign I was with him as he traveled across Chicago and won the election. I enjoyed the political and governmental side of photography working for Mayor Washington while he was in office as well as Mayor Eugene Sawyer (1987-89) and Mayor Richard M. Daley (1989-2011).<\/p>\r\n
