About this site

This is the Rebellion against overproduced images often in the digital world. These are images made from my film cameras. Each image I shot myself. The subjects are often friends, and acquaintances in their world.

A Friend of a Friend You hear stories about this guy in NY and what he did, and how cool he is, and what good people he is, and then the stories fade a bit in your memory because you don’t know the guy.  And you don’t remember the combination of people talking about him, and life just simply moves on.  Work shows up and they call you, and want you to be apart of the crew for a one day job at the top of Beverly Hills somewhere.  And so you go.  You go, because the job sounds interesting.  Its with “So and So” (Talent) for “So and So” (Magazine) and “So and So” is shooting it and this is his method(light). “Hmm Sounds Cool, I’m in.” In the movie, “Heat,” the character Michael Cheritto, played by Sizemore, in a monumental decision to do one last heist even though he is set financially because all the money he has put away in investments, states, “I’m in, for me, the Action is the Juice.”  I get that now.
