Los Angeles Photo

I’ve been living and photographing in Los Angeles since January 1982. I came here with a dream and worked relentlessly to make it a reality. From the start, I had one clear goal: to create the greatest body of work I possibly could—and so far, so good.

My photographic journey in LA began with my first job at Photo Impact, the best black-and-white lab in the city at the time. Over the years, certain places and businesses have become deeply woven into my creative life. I’ve put together a list of those that have played a significant role in shaping my photography here in Los Angeles.

Photo Impact – The first, the best and still is to this day!
A&I Color Lab – Was my go to place for processing E-6 when I first got here.
PRS Rentals – Not only did I rent everything from PRS, but I bought my first Dynalite’s from them!
Samy’s Camera – Been in LA since forever! I bought so many of my cameras and gear from Samy’s.
Pan Pacific Camera – They were on Highland, blocks from Photo Impact. Bought my first Nikon there.
Studio 46 – Best studio in LA for so long! So many great shoots!!
Silver Lab – After Photo Impact I started using Silver Lab. They were so nice and helpful.
Tom’s Chroma Lab – Blocks from my first Hollywood apartment on La Brea. Made life easy when I could walk there.
LA Color Lab – When they started the took over LA for processing. They did everything and did it great.
Pix Rentals – Had lots of friends working there. It was nice cuz they always took good care of me.
