  Q&A
you've been taking photos of girls for almost thirty years.
will you ever tire of them? will you photograph girls for the rest
of your life? Do you think of them as girls or women?
I don't see any reason to stop taking photos of women. Photographing naked girls was a career change for me when I started doing it seriously at age 34. At the time, I thought that it would be a nice occupation to have as I grew older. Sometimes I think of the models as girls and sometimes as women.

what keeps your interest?
Trying to think of new things to do within a cliché-ridden format.
