I Started As A Black-and-white Teenage Photographer, And I'm Still There Decades After. In Some Ways, The Genre Is Almost Gone. I Am Thinking Of True, Stubborn, Lifetime Black-and-white Photographers, As Opposed To Black-and-white As A Photographic Commodity.

I Always Loved Designing, But The Context Needs To Be Right, And Have A Positive Perspective.

I Love California. It Has Such A Strong Contribution To The History Of Culture, And Popular Culture. For Better And Worse, Of Course. Even The Worst Can Be Interesting To Some Degree Sometimes For Somebody Creative.

I'm Going To Design Again, But I Come Back When It's The Right Project, So I Keep My Passion For It Intact.

Photography Has Always Been About Documentary, The Depiction Of The Instant, A Moment, Sometimes A Place. Each Project Is Somehow An Experimentation Of A Specific Context Or A Character.

When I Was Designing, I Had In Mind Jimi Hendrix, And I Could Hardly Find Skinny Indie Black Kids To Wear My Clothes. I Remember One Telling Me He Had To Swap His Skinny Jeans For Baggy Ones In The Subway Before Going Home, So He Wouldn't Get In Trouble In His Neighborhood.
