He was previously president of SF Camerawork, director of the Mother Jones International Fund for Documentary Photography, and chair of the City of Oakland’s Cultural Affairs Commission. He recently received a grant for a collaborative work with Hank Willis Thomas titled Question Bridge: Black Males,a transmedia project that seeks to represent and redefine Black male identity in America.
