Its very hard to pick one favorite photograph. The one i wanted to do would have been way to difficult to recreate. I chose this one because its one of my favorites and easier to recreate than the other. The original was a portrait of Gloria Swanson by Alfred Johnston.

Richard Avedon was an early influence in my photographic career.
This is a scanned photo from those days.

We all admire Ansel Adams's b&w landscapes. Here is my "imitation", in a manner of speaking. Please see the SBS guide. (5 years and 2505 days ago)
