My first model shoot was done in 1959, I am an old man today.

At age 16 I was a newspaper photographer, at eighteen a US Navy Photographer. At age 21 I was discharged from the navy and opened a portrait studio in Maryville, TN.

Over 4000 children between 1962 and 64. One of those children was Caroline Kennedy.

Portraits of young men and women from 1964 through 66, plus a few weddings. Lots of landscapes with a view camera in my spare time.

Burned out for a while in the late 60's, then back to landscapes by 1971, both aerial and ground. Published 80,000 total posters of five different images, with one being the aerial poster of the 1982 Worlds Fair.

First nude shoot in 1966. Started nudes again in 1998, but ended this series in 2006.

My models, for the most part, were women that I met on the streets. or in stores. Some were married, some were college students, others were homeless prostitutes. A few found me through the Internet.

The images were never intended to be porn, just portraits, or nude studies, that someone might want to display on a wall in a private gallery

My prints have found their way into around three hundred collections, but I took a break from selling four years ago.

A few prints are available today. All Prints were printed by me in a real darkroom, or with an archival pigment ink printer.

Watch www.Catawiki.com Auctions for prints later this year
