Each Time I Did Assignments Or Editorials,

What I Particularly Liked Was That, Coming From California And Not Being Involved In The New York Scene, I Developed My Personal Way, In My Own Way, At My Own Pace.

Today A Lot Of Things Are So Celebrity-oriented; It's Only Because It's Celebrity And The Photograph Is Lost. To Me It's Important To Have An Image That Is A Photograph First, Not About Necessarily Who That Person Is.

I Abstract It In My Photographs: I Like Large Planes And Spaces, Areas Of Texture And Light, Like Deserts Or Oceans Or Monumental Places.

Well, I Liked It - That Was The Main Thing. I Liked It, But I Didn't Think Of It In Terms Of A Career. I Didn't Really Know; I Didn't Really Think About It. One Thing Just Led To Another Until Finally I Quit My Job As A Salesman And Found Myself Working As A Photographer.

I Was An Economics Major, Which I Enjoyed Because I Had A Good Business Sense.
