There’s something intimidating about the unknown. But there’s also something very exciting and wonderful.

Mel was fortunate to spend his early professional life traveling the world as a photojournalist for a small news service. Then in the late 80’s he accepted a position with Time Warner, Inc. and relocated to New York City. As Imaging Manager, Mel worked with the top photo editors and imaging staff of all their flagship magazines, such as: Time, Life, People, Sports Illustrated and SI’s Swimsuit Magazines.

He twice received the AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE from Time Inc. Magazines.
