Sandra S. Phillips writes of these portraits: "There is something incontrovertibly present in the people he photographs; they are more alive, more beautiful, and more fallible?even more vulnerable?than the people we see in most pictures.0Also featured are landscapes made in California, England and Spain, as well as still lifes of animals and flowers.
