“WHAT I SAW ALONG THE WAY”

< back


As a fashion photographer for more than thirty-five years, my work took me to many places and allowed me to see many things that I might not otherwise have had a chance to observe. During all that time, I always carried my trusty Leica with me and I used it extensively to take pictures of and isolate the many fleeting moments that caught my attention.

Two years ago, in June 2003, I retired from the World of Fashion and moved to California. Amongst the many belongings I took with me, was an array of boxes filled with countless contact sheets, negatives and prints, representing the thousands of images I had recorded with my Leica. Unfortunately my archival skills leave much to be desired and I discovered that I was faced with a monumental mess. I might never have found the courage to tackle the disarray I found in those boxes, had it not been for my wife Tammi, whose flawless taste, relentless dedication and constant support eventually led me to choose approximately one hundred images that I am now showing on this website. There are many more to come, but I think the work I am displaying here is generally representative of “What I Saw Along the Way.” These images are exclusively shot on film; nothing is digitalized; nothing is retouched. It's reality as I saw it.
