I recommend Patrick as a highly talented photographer and photo editor with an excellent sense of aesthetics in every dimension. I know him and have worked with him on multimedia projects that became major stories in the Cameraworks section of the washingtonpost.com website, as well as through my work on the board of visitors advising the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Pat is a great photography teacher with an excellent ability to communicate to his students. He is passionate, committed to their success, and able to convey what it takes for them to advance and succeed in the profession. He is also invested in growing his own skills as a multimedia producer and developing greater expertise in the realms that will be necessary for future visual journalism. We worked together on several projects and I saw Pat grow significantly in his own multimedia skills (particularly with video), building on the aesthetic and journalistic sensibilities he brought from his own previous professional experience. I think he is committed to staying abreast of industry trends and developing projects that will enable his students to have chances to grow their own skills. By investing in them but also making clear that his own skills and high standards are "the bar" to reach, I think he inspires and informs his students and motivates them in very good ways. The success of his students in different collegiate competitions is further evidence of his teaching skills.
