An Interview with Travis Fox
Photographer, washingtonpost.com

Travis Fox was hired by Tom Kennedy in 1999, and is currently the staff photographer for washingtonpost.com.

A graduate of the University of Missouri photojournalism school, Travis found himself in a role of defining the way still photojournalists could influence new media.

Working with both stills and video, Travis managed to shake up the photojournalism community this year at the White House News Photographers Assn competition.
