Black and White amateur street photographer in the 70's while exploring Paris, The American South, New York City. Switched to color soon after arriving in NY. resulting in a series at CBGB. Due to the reaction of the students in my class after seeing those pictures and refusing to see more, I soon abandoned photography all together for 3 reasons: not knowing where to go to promote the work, the surprise appearance of anxiety attacks in the subway (among other places) where I had just started another series, and all my equipment being stolen soon after. In other words my world was collapsing, I had to change course. Later, I moved to California and needing to remain creative, switched to woodworking as I was also interested in design and building stuff. Now, many years later, with others encouragement, I am taking on the duty of the caretaker for that work and exploring numerous avenues to do so, something I was incapable to do then. The circle shall be closed (hopefully).
