Sam Abell learned photography from my father, a teacher, at our home in Sylvania, Ohio.
After graduating from the University of Kentucky I worked for National Geographic as a contract and staff photographer for thirty-three years.
In 1990, my work was the subject of a one-person exhibition and monograph titled Stay This Moment at the International Center of Photography in New York City.
In 2024, I received the Lifetime Achievement Award from The Photo Society, and was inducted into the International Photography Hall of Fame.
