I met Bill Frakes while attending a workshop in Wyoming. Besides being a neat person, he is a well seasoned photographer, extremely talented, and humble guy. I had a great time with him, and learned a lot by just listening and watching him work.

Annie Leibovitz
One of my favorite photographers of all, for her versatile, daring and crafty style. I was able to see her exhibition: A Photographer’s Life, and many of her original prints in Paris last year.

Dan Winters is one of my favorite commercial photographers. I had a chance to meet him while attending a workshop in Hunt, TX a few years ago. Really a great guy, and an excellent eye for “light composition.” He is now based in Austin.

Howard Schatz: an ophthalmologist who after a successful academic life as a retina specialist, turns his hobby into a very prominent career. One of my favorite commercial photographers these days. Very creative and always pushing his imagination beyond the expected.
