"In 1979, while still at [the School of] Visual Arts, he began as Robert Maplpethorpe's printer... Avoiding the studio, to distance himself from Mapplethorpe's work, he focused on the urban landscape and architecture. Finally moving into the studio with a pinhole camera he began to photograph flowers and make still life photographs of curious objects." (From Bio). Fine condition. Item #48614
