About The Artwork
My Old Clothes series was made over a period of perhaps five years. Friends gave me clothing they found stored in an attic, perhaps a dress worn long ago by a favorite relative, an aunt or a grandmother. My daughter donned them and patiently posed with her lovely faced disguised, usually wrapped in cheesecloth. The images are meant to evoke feelings ranging from loss to happy memory. Shown together, their individual power intensifies. In this image, Lisa is wearing my own dress which I wore to a fancy dinner party. First one of the spaghetti straps broke; then the zipper parted company from the dress. A friend lent me a sweater to put over my shoulders until I could go home, mend the dress, and return for the dance.

United States
With the exception of two years in Arizona, I have lived in NY state. My serious work in photography started after a trip to Orkney, Scotland, where I was hampered by a broken lens and a serious lack of expertise. While on a ferry during gale-force winds, I tried in vain to photograph the walls of water coming at us. When I returned home I began taking lessons in photography. Initially I worked on specific projects, such as dreams. Recently I have done street photography when visiting cities including Edinburgh, Glasgow, and London. My cameras include a Mintolta X700, a Holga, and the D200 Nikon. Currently my work is carried by Trevillion.
