This will be my 12th show at Next. I am proud to be part of this group of artists, especially in these exciting times in 40 West Arts District, as we prepare to move into a new building.

Over my 65 years of taking photos, I have aimed my camera at many people - family, friends, and total strangers. This show will feature a very few of my favorites from past years, and from all over the country and the world. People are usually willing to pose for the camera, arranging their faces to look their best. It is more of a challenge to capture people unaware and natural. Usually these photos are disastrous, lighting is not good, backgrounds are distracting, or the photo is very unflattering. But sometimes they work!
