I was born at the American Hospital in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France. I find inspiration in the lives of so many people from Joan of Arc to Oscar Wilde. While my primary avocation is photography, I also enjoy philosophy, theology and most of all, history. My beloved wife, Robin Anne Smith, who passed away in 2013 is also an inspiration to me. My beloved partner, Dana is also a great support and inspiration to me. I'd be remiss if I did not mention my cats: Maxwell, and Nigel.

love this dog boy!! i’d like to apply some of my photography 101 critiquing skills.
this photo portends a bleak near future for the housing market. while the young man promises new homes with his best dance move, consumers are moving the opposite direction. even the only other pedestrian refuses to acknowledge the shining new homes.
another layer of meaning is the ambiguous race of the jester. considering people of color were some of the biggest losers in the collapsed housing market because of unscrupulous banks and realtors, his participation seems well… unsavory.
ok, i know this kid just needed a job. please let me justify the thousands i still owe for my art education.
Thank you, Earl. You rule.
the comment above was worth stopping by for - but i love the energy of the boy…
This young fellow is surely having a good time and he is very joyful. I’m glad you noticed him. Love you, Mom
