Description"My first works in photography in the late 1960's were nudes. I lived in the Haight-Ashbury while studying at San Francisco State University. My friends and I went to nude beaches and the work became an expression of our freedom. For eight years I photographed nudes exclusively. After my move to the East Coast the subject became less relevant and my concentration turned to the landscape."
