This photo was taken on 4 x 5" sheet film with my trusty Crown

I am a semi-retired studio photographer who for 45 years has recorded life on the other side of the tracks... and I've never wanted to be anywhere else. For me, that is where life is full of rich flavour and excitement.
I have savoured my life capturing intimacies people have loaned me and then I have returned them to their owners as permanent records of their experiences. I always felt this was a remarkable trade... they would allow me to share their secrets, and I would let them retain whatever transpired.
