When did you start using Leica?
I started photographing with my first Leica in 1967-just out of High School
My favorite Leica camera is the Leica M4 (film camera)
My favorite subject matter is- I let the picture take me…it can be figure studies, shots of nature, social issues, still life’s…Hollywood studios, portraits of people and celebrities.
I would like to work with the Leica S2-digital reflex camera
As an Artist, the Leica camera has helped me accomplish my visual goals by providing me the finest optical and camera engineering in the world…It has changed the way I look at everything, and also the way I feel about what I see.
