My first pictures were typical of a middle-class kid discovering the wonders of photography. They exhibited no special skill or insight, but documented the most important things around me. The oldest picture I have is my 10 year old shadow against my Dad's new 1959 Hillman Minx convertible.
The same youthful self-infatuation inspired the 1965 picture of my feet hanging over the bow of a speedboat taken my first day of shooting with the 35 mm Yashika my Grandfather gave me.
