with poetic feelings and tender souls.
And hello!,..... Do feel that YOU are most welcome!
Make yourself at home. The pictures you are about to see,
were taken with several different cameras, ranging from a
large 4x5 View camera, twin-lens 6x6, and single-lens reflex
system cameras.
I've tried to standardize my film, paper, and chemicals,
in order to simplify and economize.
I began photographing when I was 16 years old, using a
plastic Kodak Brownie Box Camera. After a few years of
photographing my friends and relatives, I decided to try
photography as a profession, enrolling in the City College
of Santa Monica, California to study professional photography,
drawing, painting and ceramics. (The drawings, paintings,
and ceramics, are my own productions.)
After a few years of study, I began to exhibit my
photographs in the Los Angeles County area. After completing
approximately 25 one-man-shows, I decided to travel to Europe
to see what other artists were doing.
I ended up in Sweden, and it has become my "home away from
home". To date, I have had more than 85 exhibitions and
acquired acclaim from the community of Södertälje, Sweden.
I was awarded a culture prize in 1974, for furthering the
efforts to have photography recognized as an art.
I am still an American citizen, born in Panama City,
Panama R.P., July 19, 1940. Have attended American schools
from kindergarten up, through a liberal arts sojourn in
Santa Monica City College, California. (1962-65) Currently
living in Halmstad, Sweden.
