I Like Form And Shape And Strength

Actually, When I First Started Dabbling In Photography, I Was Still Working For My Parents As A Salesman.

Today A Lot Of Things Are So Celebrity-oriented; It's Only Because It's Celebrity And The Photograph Is Lost. To Me It's Important To Have An Image That Is A Photograph First, Not About Necessarily Who That Person Is.

What I Particularly Liked Was That, Coming From California And Not Being Involved In The New York Scene, I Developed My Personal Way, In My Own Way, At My Own Pace.

I'm Pretty Selective. I Generally Edit The Contact Sheets And Then Do Work Prints. Because I Have My Own Lab And Printers, I Can Afford The Luxury Of Going Through The Contact Sheets For Black-and-white, Making Up Work Prints, Seeing Them Big, And Honing Them Down.

I Think Knowing People By First Names, Not By What They Do Sexually, Is Really What It's About. Not Being Afraid. Fear Is The Enemy. I've Always Been Comfortable With Being Gay.
