“Undercovers Roughing up a Woman” 1987

PoliceBustWoman-1987 copyI can’t stand when the cops push around a woman like this. I know they probably found some weed or coke on her, but there’s FIVE of them and one of them thinks he’s the second coming of Serpico. Before video was everywhere, I saw people routinely tossed around like rag dolls by New York’s finest. I guess it’s a little better these days thanks to “everyman” and the Iphone…

“Brooklyn Streetball” 1989 (New Scan)

Stickball-Brooklyn-1989-8000 copy

I finally finished scanning the majority of the older work I did back in the ’80s last night. I have plenty of current work and some medium format stuff I’ve been avoiding, and I also have a huge amount of my “Prime” negatives in need of being rescanned…I’m still relieved to have gotten through this portion of my work which has taken me over two years!

“Flower Girl” 2007

I guess if I’m going to try and hawk prints on the net, I should occasionally offer ones which have a chance of selling…This picture makes me happy and has won numerous awards. Well, if I had entered it into a few trivial contests it might have held its own, but I’m just rambling on as I often do when I find myself in the uncomfortable position of having to try and sell my work…

12×18 prints available at a price which won’t hurt as much as my dentist, and will cost less than he charges for a cleaning. Maybe I should find another guy but he’s Derek Jeter’s dentist and I feel I deserve the best too.
