The ad for “Compact Disc Players” was cutting edge back in ’86…

SP is wherever you happen to be photography, shot with any lens or film and done without disturbing the pictures content.
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.

I remember being so excited when I took this torn poster shot of Malcolm X. Wow, I was into something cool and cutting edge…Shortly thereafter I bought a copy Walker Evans American photographs and saw his “Minstrel Showbill” picture from 50 years earlier, and got bitchslapped back to reality…

I’m so far behind on my developing film, it really isn’t funny. The broken wrist set me back a few months, and I usually avoid the darkroom during the summer for obvious reasons. I don’t remember taking this picture, but I’m very happy I did. Something made me push the button, and I doubt it was her clenched fist. I think this one depicts the tension felt between the Police and the People fairly well, without actually capturing any of the violence which ensued…

It is hard to believe that it has been twenty years since I saw Joan perform in front of seven people on a cold winter night at Wetlands. When she did her cover of “Son of a Preacher Man” it was obvious to me (I know very little about these things) that she was a force of nature and would one day become famous…A year or so later, she did make it big when her song “If God Was One of Us” went national…

It took thirteen years to come up with the sequel to “The Bubble Boy” but all good things happen in due time…

This is probably my most widely owned image because I would give it as a wedding gift and I also sold it a few times. It is also the only “important” negative that I ever misplaced for an extended period of time. After being unable to find it for several years, I finally scanned an old print and made do with a half ass file. I just found the negative and finally have an 8,000 DPI scan and can offer large prints for a decent price…
