In the late 1970's I became despondent over the use of my documentary images and decided I needed to find a more innocent way to make a living. I hoped that in my spare time, the commercial work would pay for the documentary work, which I planned to continue. Because of my background in history and art history and my experiences in photojournalism, I brought new ways of thinking into my still-life work more akin to making pictures from life, but as well I brought a spare, reductive style to some assignments.
