Sometimes you don't really know how much you love
someone or how much they mean to you until you are about to lose them, and then
they are gone. When my dear Friend (lover, girlfriend, fellow spirit) John
died of AIDS in 1988, I was and am forever changed. I was panic-stricken
and wild with grief. It was as though a great arm had reached up through
my ass and grabbed tightly my heart and shook me hard with the greatest of force
and depth. Many died before him and more since then, but John's death
hobbled me.
Out of all of this, my photography has been a personal
affirmation. It has been a personal choice to express mostly the positive in celebration in the
lives of the bearish gay man, in nature and wherever else a picture called to me. In my early graphic work is expressed the
dark and horrific. Now I have been exploring variations of beauty, joy and
frivolity fueled by and never losing sight of the tragic and the horrific.
