Roots Run Deep

As I was looking through photo websites, I decided that before displaying the work of new photographers, I wanted to pay homage to my roots — to the photographers who mentored me and with whom I spent hours in the darkroom. Among these are my teachers (Mark Ostow and Andrew Roy), my creative companion Laura Silverman and the great work of Eugene Richards — a photographer who I have repeatedly looked back to for inspiration in composition and message.

(Unfortunately, most of her work is unavailable for public viewing. I was only able to track down some of her work with Polaroid images. It was her color medium format work that has always inspired me most.)
