Age:
0 - 7Rockville Centre, New York
8 - 18 Haworth, New Jersey ...went to Northern Valley Regional High - nickname "Abnorm" (partly because I was 6'5" in the 9th grade). While being different in High School was torture, I was able to capitalize on it later in life.

Went on to New York where I studied with Garry Winogrand and also Diane Arbus in private master class workshops.
BIG CHANGE
