I normally photograph people, but this was so beautiful I had to record it. It was in Stanley Park in Vancouver. I only took this one shot and then moved on. The more I look at it the more intriguing it becomes. Not that I am going to start becoming a nature photographer, but it was a change from the norm. I still prefer the human condition as subject matter, but while I am out looking for interesting subjects, I will take that compelling image when given the chance.

When I was producing and directing music videos or promos as they were then called, I got the band to perform on a wharf in Sausalito. Amazingly there was no one around, and the shoot went off without a hitch. They were easy to work with and I loved their music. Here's one of the shots I took while they were warming up. It's rock and roll all the way. I miss those days.

The fourth in my series of Window Washers. I'm still intrigued by the daredevil work that these guys do and how they have to face the elements at the same time they are doing their work. High heights are not something I am comfortable with, so they have my respect and admiration. I also adore the graphics that they give me. Living in Los Angeles I don't seem to see them as much as I did in Vancouver. C'est la vie.

When I attended the first Soviet / American Film interchange, I took some time off to follow my passion of taking pictures. I got on the subway that went in a loop. I would get off at every stop grab a few shots and then get back on until I made the circle complete. Moscow subways are elaborate with crystal chandeliers and mosaic walls reflecting their history. I didn't have time to really look only to grab my shot and move on. What I did notice was that there was absolutely no graffiti. I don't know if that has changed since 1988, I sure hope not.
