crush: One of my models!! (And I'm not telling, but she knows it!)

gets me hot: My wife of 34! years! (And when people tell me they enjoy my work!)

fantasy: Photographing your mom and grandma, not necessarily together.

i lost my virginity: A very, very long time ago (1967 at age 20 to my 1st wife) before all of you were born.

sign: Virgo and perfectly proud of it.

body mods: Gray and wrinkles; 151lbs.; 5' 6" and shrinking. Getting a belly and still have flat feet. Stretch marks on my lower back when I had a growth spurt during the summer of my 10th grade and I grew 3 inches in three months

makes me happy: Telling my grand children bedtime stories about my youth and watching them laugh at how silly I used to be. Seating with older people and listening to their stories about the Great Depression. And learning from them. When my scale shows I weigh a little less than the day before.

makes me sad: The wars that won't end. And when clients don't call when they cannot make their appointment! The elderly arguing.

most humbling moment: Watching my first granddaughter being born. And meeting Van Cliburn back stage after a performance.

heroes: My mother. Cassius Clay. Cal Ripken Jr.
