      <description><![CDATA[I turn 42 today. I thought I'd take a look back (as we older folks are prone to doing) at what I call my 'former life'. Before photography, music was everything for me. I officially started playing guitar when I was 12, but the seed was planted much earlier (at age 6 or so) when I heard the distorted guitar intro of Bread's 'Mother Freedom' on our family's little orange turntable.Ah, all the birthday parties, bar/bat mitzvahs, talent shows, high school dances I played with various earnest bandmates. Later made it to good clubs in DC including the old 930 Club (now at 9th and V St), DC Space (now a Starbucks), the Bayou (under the Whitehurst Freeway in Georgetown, where a multiplex now stands), and the Black Cat. Even had a one-off at the famed 100 Club in London in 1989, where The Who, Sex Pistols et al once played. CBGB's. ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<div><font face="TrebuchetMS">When shooting, I've always liked late-day, almost dusk light. Sometimes I call it 'Great Gatsby light', though no one has ever seemed to quite get it. I recently realized that I really didn't either.

      <description><![CDATA[<div><font face="TrebuchetMS">I am a Milan Kundera fan, though for some reason it seems to have become slightly passé to admit it. I particularly like his well-formulated ideas about kitsch, what it is and, by implication, why it should be resisted (though he suggests that resistance is ultimately futile). As an influence on my sensibility - the great Czech documentary photographer Viktor Kolar once told me, "develop your sensibility, then learn to make it visual" - I'd rank him up there with people like Paul Weller, Krzysztof Kieslowski, and James Kunstler.</font></div> ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[My wife and I spent a month in Paris over the holidays, introducing some of her relatives to baby Sofia. I admit I didn't know what to shoot in Paris, maybe the most photographed city ever. I was determined to do something different (different for me, and different from what we normally see of Paris). I didn't want to romanticize the place, as most seem compelled to do. So I promised myself early on - no beautiful buildings, no kissing couples, kids carrying baguettes, etc. And I didn't shoot black and white this time, so I'd be less seduced into warmed-over Cartier-Bresson riffs. In this case color (digital, by the way) seemed more descriptive and abstract at the same time. ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I recently had an interesting assignment from Das Magazin in Zurich. They were doing sort of an 'inside Washington' story - behind images of the White House etc, what kind of city is it? The article was called In the Rome of Our Time, they used 11 pictures over seven pages. It was great because they let me take a personal approach, shoot black and white (film, even), look for atmosphere... Basically they said shoot Washington like I have E. Europe. The shoot itself was for four days, plus I threw some older pics into the mix as well. Certainly a challenge seeing your own environment with fresh eyes. ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Considering our current society's flood of images, interesting to think about a time when even someone notable may not leave behind a single photograph. Or in this case, only one.Today on the BBC website:A print of the only photograph of Mozart's widow, Constanze Weber, has been found in Germany.The photograph was taken in 1840 in the Bavarian town of Altoetting when she was 78. She died two years later. The local authorities say detailed examination has proved the authenticity of the image, which is a copy of the original daguerreotype. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart died at the age of 36 in 1791, when Constanze was 29. She later married a Danish diplomat. The print is one of the earliest examples of photography in Bavaria. It was found in the town archives. The daguerreotype was taken at the home of the Swiss composer Max Keller, whom Constanze used to visit regularly.[...] The daguerreotype shows Constanze at front left, next to Max Keller. ]]></description>
