Description: When I was eight years old, I remember shuffling through my parentŐs dining room bureau drawer where I found 35mm negatives my sister Dolores had hidden. I pulled them out and held them to the light. They resembled the film strips used in elementary school projectors during the late 50s and early 60s. For me, these celluloid miniatures held a certain powerful mystery.
How could you make a photograph print from such a small negative? What made this transformation possible? From this raw beginning, I soon began the long process of developing the necessary skills to become a professional photographer, advancing from taking snapshots to exhibiting in galleries. This process required extensive training, taking pictures relentlessly and being open to discovery.
