Gillian

This is a photograph I took of my sister, Gillian. We were both teenagers then... circa the 1970s. The photo was taken in the attic of our family's home, using natural lighting. The camera was my Pentax with Tri-x film, and of course, Rembrandt lighting.

Pamela

When I was studying photography at HS of Art & Design most of my models were my friends and family. This is my friend Pamela posing in my mother's garden. The camera was a Pentax with a hand-held light meter. The film was probably Tri-x. And, gawd, we were both so young then.

Sinead

I took this photograph when I was 17 years old. It was my first job as a fashion photographer for Soho Weekly News. What I remember about this photo is: the young lady was a salesgirl who worked in a boutique on Third Avenue. Her name was Sinead.

Aleta Watches Me Watching Her

June 2008 in Key West, Florida: This was the first time I used my Nikon digital camera. I'm still getting used to it. Thankfully, Aleta was patient with me. The poor dolphin held this pose for 5 minutes while I tried to figure out the focusing.
