'Cornell Capa', 1979: Born Cornell Friedman, in Budapest, he instinctively recognized the photo-image as being capable of reaching the masses with considerable impact. Still a teen, he joined his brother, Andre (Robert Capa), in Paris where he would be his printer. After learning of Roberts' death in Indo China 1956, he joined 'Magnum' picture agency, where after two years became president til 1960. His photographic works were indelibly marked with a buoyant passion and enthusiastic commitment that would follow him as founder/Director of the International Center of Photography (ICP) (1974), located in NYC. An important photographic mentor, he has served as a light in life and my works. Cornell passed in May of 2008.

A native of Baltimore, MD, Ive made N.Y.C. my home for more than half my life. I occupy a space between a world as it is, and one cloaked in personal aspirings of a world where the tension fraught relationship between Nature & humanity may evolve to one guided more by long-term possibilities of preservation, rather than a short-sighted possibility of profit. Contrasts of Nature & humanity often join forces in ways that are prophetic as to the conceptual gulf separating the two. These tensions are primary to my efforts at creating a visual discourse, one where what is, is matrix to possibilities of what might be. Visual formalities, and narrative content are not mutually exclusive, but form an osmotic linking of the two. While Nature & humanity form concerns primary to this presentation of works, some embrace subject matter beyond such issues.
