I had done a lot of photography in high school. It was a great training ground for understanding lenses, light, exposure and framing. As I became more focused on my writing and directing career, I put photography aside. Then in 1993 I decided to start taking photographs once again as a creative outlet that would not require an entire crew. It would just be me, my camera and a subject.
I decided to photograph people. I had the idea of perhaps one day collecting these photos into a book or collection that would show a unique cross section of young people in the entertainment business.
Some people I’ve photographed are life-long friends, others are people I met and worked with for a day perhaps and never saw again. Some people have grown to great heights in our business and others have moved onto other dreams. Some people here have passed on.
I thank each and every one of these wonderful people for indulging me and sharing a moment, which is now forever a photograph.
Here are just a few of the people I have photographed.
