On This Date in 1982…
On December 10, 1982 I graduated from Brooks Institute of Photography, in Santa Barbara, California. At 22 I knew I wasn’t ready to set-up my own studio, so I headed to Los Angeles, to find a job as an assistant for awhile. Best thing I’ve ever done! I ended up working for more than 30 different photographers, and this truely finished my education. From car shooters, to fashion photographers, to movie studios I got to see it all. After two years, in October of 1985, I opened my own studio at 1501 South La Brea. At that time, I never thought that I’d get a chance to live in Thailand, much less make my own coffee table book about it.
