"I've been a professional photographer for 50 years. My wife and I had
lived in California and really didn't feel like moving back there. I
did a lot of movie work and all of the still work for Centron. I prefer
to do still photography. I came here to Kansas City and I got out of
the motion picture business because it was too expensive. A lot of the
stuff I did was food photography. I also did portraits to please
myself, not to please the person I was photographing. You get a little
old lady saying, 'Make me look like I'm 20 years old.'" (2000)
