I’ve been wondering since 2007 where he has gone? no shows, no sites, no contact, no new works, nothing. Like a ghost. My guess is that since it was unintentional to be a “photographer” and exhibit his work in the first place, he sold his work, did some shows and just moved on to life’s next adventure minus a camera.
Wow.. I find it amazing how someone seem to make art shooting “snapshots” with minimal equipment when i struggle to get my shots good sporting equipment worth several thousands!
Great pictures!
@cinemascapist
i agree, but why not?
@ james… I’m in a similar boat as him (never intended to sell pictures or show at galleries, etc…), so I’m not arguing it. I like having no pressure or debts for art school tuitions for me to continue this and he obviously didn’t either.
The point of my comment was that I just wish someone, anyone, knew if this was the case with him or not? Either way it would just be a pleasant surprise if new images came out of nowhere from him?
