Photography
Photography spanning a myriad of subjects for various organizations within and outside the federal government. Unseen are the photos I’ve taken for productions as a behind-the-scenes photographer, including at multiple Super Bowl press weeks and MLB All-Star games, as well as photos recently used by the Los Angeles Times and Politico.
Alongside institutional work, this page also holds personal documentary and landscape work capturing the coastal redwoods and the shifting Bay Area skies.
Journalism & Public Affairs
Nearly two decades of military and federal public affairs photography — from infantry training exercises and a deployment with the 1st Infantry Division and Multi-National Corps – Iraq, to Defense Media Activity assignments covering Super Bowl XLVIII and a vice-presidential visit to Baghdad, to town halls with the US Army Corps of Engineers. In 2025, a photo from this body of work was picked up by national press.
A photo by Edward Coffey accompanied the Los Angeles Times' March 21, 2025 profile of former EPA Region 9 Administrator Josh F.W. Cook, and was referenced again in a Sept. 2, 2025 Politico article.

Hangar One sits on the horizon at Moffett Field. Google took over the 1,000-acre site with plans to repurpose its three airship hangars as laboratories for developing robots, rovers, drones, internet-carrying balloons, and other cutting-edge technology.
