Looking through my Syracuse work is a walk down memory lane. I was 34 in 1981 when Jeffrey Hoone the director of Light Work invited me to Syracuse for a month-long artist residency. The Light Work residency enables a photographer to shoot, develop, and print film, and, since I have never been very good at either developing or printing, I focused exclusively on photographing. It was an exciting and important moment in my career as I was offered the chance of working with no interruption in a place that was new to me.
