"... I can still recall how desperately confused I was as a young man trying to become a photographer. My initial desire had been to do fashion photography and once discharged from the navy I was going to study at the Art Center of Los Angeles. But a friend then invited me up to San Francisco for a party the weekend at the California School of Fine Arts. I was happy to accept the invitation and really ha a good time at the party. So I immediately decided to more to San Francisco and go to school there. These early photographs from this period, 1960-1963, appear to me now in some ways interesting with the passing of time..."
