Someone was impressed by some prints, the IQ, and wondered how I got large format results from a Leica Monochrom.
Also helps that I manage the NYC Meet-Up and am widely known. Thats also how I got an Epson 7800 for $100.00 that only made 1802 prints over its 9 year life.

Indeed a case of who you know, not what you know. May I get to know you?
Where can I find your work though?

Cal,
I do not post; I do not have a website; I do not do social media; I do not text; I do not carry a cell phone...
I decided a long time ago that presenting my work on a computer screen was not the best presentation of my work. I also decided that I would not scan my film images, but I may make digital copies of my negatives and print using Piezography as an editing tool for my film images.
I'm basically widely known because I stand out in a crowd, even in NYC. Some people think I live in Harlem because they see me in their hood so often. I am widely known because I've been doing all kinds of stuff in the arts. If you come to NYC PM me and let's meet-up.
It has gotten to the point that I can begin to think of myself as a NYC tourist attraction. I meet total strangers every day because I am personable and easily remembered, but what is important to me is to remain humble. Pursuing fame and recognition is not what I'm about. I get asked all the time if I'm a working pro photographer, and my response is "I'm just a guy with a poney tail." My girlfriend hates when I say that BTW. LOL.
Anyways I don't do what I do to be famous or well known. This is not what is important to me. I'm pretty realistic that the only person I need to make happy is perhaps my girlfriend and my dog, Beagle-Face.
If anything good happens: oh-well. Not really going to change my life or who I am.
Understand that I never knew anyone that had a complicated life that was happy. Call me a lazy slacker, but I live my life for me, and understandbly this is very selfish. BTW being widely known is a burden. Being famous is a headache IMHO. As widely known as I am basically I am a loner at heart in many regards.

Maybe for my 21st, Cal.
All the best!
