Quotes from others about the person
His work is described thus by Edward Bryant, Director of Picker Art Gallery: "His straightforward photographs go far beyond a merely sociological documentation or an exploitation of the unusual. To these individuals, with whom he achieves a remarkable responsive interaction, he gives persuasive, emblematic form as part of the human fabric of the city."
