Winner of numerous awards, including New England Press Association 2002 Photographer of the Year, he has had photos published in Life, Time, and Newsweek, Paris Match, Rolling Stone, and many other magazines.

He started as a photographer for the University of Massachusetts Collegian newspaper and was photo editor his senior year. Right after college he went to the Boston Globe as a part-time staff photographer and on to Associated Press in Boston working the overnight shift.

To satisfy his wanderlust he drove to Fairbanks, Alaska in a 1971 VW bus and worked as a staff photographer on the Fairbanks Dailey News Miner for two years, after which he decided to leave the long, long winters behind and return to New England after a three-year hiatus in Denver.

He loves to travel, visiting destinations such as Brazil (three times), Croatia (to try his camera at war photography), Cuba, Guyana, Haiti, Macedonia, and other places including Africa twice in the past four years.

His favorite hobby is hiking and he's hiked half the Appalachian Trail as well as numerous other trails throughout the nation. He's working hard at trying to instill his love for the outdoors in his wife and children.

Vince is married to Mirande and has two children: Eva, 8, and Fielding, 6.
