Part of a series of shots. The image is cropped from a 35 mm scan,

touched up for dust and sepia toned.

This is one of the few, if not among the last, photos I shot in L.A.

for over 14 years. It was with a borrowed Olympus OM-1n. (All of my

equipment had been stolen prior to this.) It is the photo of a very

special young woman, of a friend lost. This is more of a personal

statement of survival, saying "I'm still here", more than anything

else.

It is from an older shoot, electronically cropped, touched up and

sepia toned. Originally, it was of a much higher key.

This is one of my favorites, in so much that it has personal meaning

as well as is a social commentary about the city I live in, Detroit.

Most of the things in the photo no longer exist, like the Renaissance

sign and the train tracks, nor is this location accessable.

I'm not sure this actually belongs in the "nude" catagory, but the

person is not dressed -- although there is nothing really seen. Just

the same, your comments, suggestions and opinions are greatly

appreciated.

This is one of my first portraits. It is scanned from an older 35 mm

negative. Ilford HP-%, developed in D7-6 1:1. The camera was an

Olympus OM-1 with a 50 1.4.

The scan has been cropped, retuched for dust, but no other

manipulation.

A part of a structure on Bele Isle, a park in Detroit, MI. It's been

modified digitially.
