His work is held in over thirty permanent collections around the world including The George Eastman Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Getty, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston and his photographs have appeared in Harpers Magazine, The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, Orion magazine, and more.
He is a co-recipient of the Pollock-Krasner Award for Still Photography (2015), a Guggenheim Fellow (2009), and a recipient of the Santa Fe Prize for Photography for Everyday: A Yearlong Photo Diary (Chronicle Books, 2005).
