I Love Graffiti! It's BRITE! WILD! n LOUD! Three Things I've Always Enjoyed. It Comes From Looking @ Vincent Van Gogh Paintings as a Kid. I Loved How Heavy His Paint Was, The Colors & Texture.
My Parents Bought a Modern Art Painting of Some Nerve Endings. I Think It Was Red Yellow & Orange. I Loved National Geographic Because The Colors Were So Vivid.
Years Later as an Editorial Photographer I Shot All Transparencies. Kodachrome Was My First Choice. Underexposed Pushed Ecktachrome Was My Second. I Loved New York Photographer Pete Turners Work. Because of The Loud Colors. My Black & White Work Has Always Been Grainy and Contrasty. I Shoot That Way Because It Creates Mood.
2001 I Discovered Photoshop. Couldn't Get It to Work. Threw The Mouse Across The Desk In Frustration & EVERYTHING CHANGED. COLOR EXPLODED!
