Who has influenced your work?
How did you get interested in photography?
I was always interested. As a child, I would shoot on the Diana camera and wait for the prints to come back from the drugstore developer.
Film or digital?
Film has more flexibility and possible uses.
How did you end up in Austin?
I was born in West Texas. When I wanted to move to Austin in 1979, I interviewed with a lab owner who paid to have me move from Lubbock so that I could work on printing archival prints for the LBJ Library.
