On influence:

The key to the photography world in New York – Todd Weinstein. Without you I had never got a chance to come in to the photo district. With such a love, enthusiasm and inspiration to the rainbow of art and applied photography. To hang out with Sid Kaplan, Louis Stettner and Tom Eckerle was ground breaking for me. And then I have not mentioned Union Square Gallery, the hub for so many meetings.
