Many People Who Excel Are Self-taught.

Generally, The French Highly Promote Culture And The Arts, And Photography Is In Their Blood.

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

And What Excites Me Most Is The Type Of Public, The Fact That The Parisian People Have A Broader Cultural Understanding Than Many Americans Do.

I'm Pretty Selective. I Generally Edit The Contact Sheets And Then Do Work Prints. Because I Have My Own Lab And Printers, I Can Afford The Luxury Of Going Through The Contact Sheets For Black-and-white, Making Up Work Prints, Seeing Them Big, And Honing Them Down.

Within Two Hours Of Where I Live, You Have Mountains And Desert As Location. I Like The Natural Elements That Abstract Into Light, Texture, Shape And Shadow.
