Cassidy has been documenting American culture for more than two decades. He has photographed goths, punks, cutters, politicians, metalheads, dominatrices, authors and scholars in addition to less prosaic subjects. In recent years his projects have extended abroad to Romania, where he captured the lives of homeless orphans living in sewers; and to Egypt, where he reported on contemporary archaeological excavations.

[edit] Published work

His publications include several books on information technology, as well as a regular appearance as contributing editor for Videomaker Magazine. His work has appeared in the New York Times, Barron's Magazine, Photographers Forum, Asleep by Dawn, Gothic Beauty and numerous other publications. [4][5]
