After a 25-year career in advertising , Sass started a new career as a freelance photojournalist for the marine industry. During this time he  traveled the world on magazine assignments, voyaging more than 50,000 nautical miles offshore and along coastal and inland waterways. Over 100 of his feature stories with his photographs have been published, many of which have won magazine awards of excellence. 

      Today his focus is on his fine art photography. His photos have been juried into exhibits by Maryland Federation of Art, The Anne Arundel Arts Council, Chestertown River Arts, Kent Island Federation of Art, The Rehobeth Art League, The Art League of Ocean City, Oxford Fine Arts and the St. Michaels Art League. He also volunteers at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, Maryland as a photographer, specializing in the documentation of shipbuilding and restoration of traditional wooden boats.  

     Sass lives on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and continues to travel extensively with his wife Stacey, a watercolorist.
