Many People Who Excel Are

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.

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

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.

I'd Go Down To The End Of My Street, To A Garage That Had A Certain Feeling About It, Or A Particular Light; I'd Take A Picture Of A Friend Who Needed A Head Shot. That's How I Learned, Instead Of Having School Assignments And Learning Camera Techniques.

I Did Grow Up Next Door To Steve Mcqueen, Who Was A Very Famous Movie Star At The Time, But As A Kid It Didn't Impress Me. We Always Had Great Fun With Him. He Would Take Us Out On Sundays On His Motorcycles, Riding Around In The Desert; He Was Like A Second Father.
