Other Stuff - Graffiti at Large

The graffiti photos found on the pages of this site and on my MySpace page depict the work of graffiti-ists in the Miami area.  I first became interested in graffiti in the early 1980s when searching for unique locations for individual and band photo shoots.  I happened upon a building that was covered from one end to the other with some exceptionally artful work.  The building is still there and continues to be the canvas for some of the best work I have photographed to date.

Other Stuff - More Other Stuff

While putting together information to be used for this site, in particular the Bio page, I have located and gotten in touch with a number of fellow musicians who have been influential in some way, shape or form throughout my musical life, but that I had long ago lost touch with.  It has been a great experience reconnecting with so many exceptional folks!
