I suppose I got into photography
through my Mom, through osmosis. I loved flipping through photography
coffee table books, and looking at the amazing work of Avedon, Bailey,
Ritts, Weber, Penn and Scavullo.
I suppose my own photography days began my senior year in high school. I borrowed my Mom's Nikon F, loaded it with Tri-X, and went to a local cemetery with my then girlfriend Annette. I shot a roll, mostly in the cemetery and surrounding areas. Even then, I was using slow shutter speeds, and many of the images had a sense of mystery, darkness, and intrigue. I maybe shot another 12 rolls that year.
