A great show and an even better group of fellows! Thanks for making me feel welcome and for lunch!

Despite all the finger prints he left on his negs!

in part because I feel we saw the work of a hard working photographer who was a no bs doer.

He wasn't exactly careful with negs, lol!

I was bummed I couldn't join everyone, even with Bob there.

I'd steal the "Welcome to California Jane" photo. It cracks me up no matter how many times I've seen it (Fraenkel, Pier 24, sfmoma).

I went with my girlfriend on Sunday. It was interesting to see his contact sheets. He shoots a lot! I always take a shot and walk away. I think I'll take 5 or 6 next time.

IMO his consistently strongest work came from his NY years when he was taking a shot or two at a time. The contacts with multiple shots are mostly from LA, when I'm told he used a motor drive – and was shooting more often from a car.

Don't miss the video at the end of the show, where you can see his shooting style.

The exhibition was a blast and it was nice to see some new and old faces.
