I'm not hiding behind anything. I was just wondering why you jump my ass when you read I am having problems like parents passing away, or a wife in a crisis after surgery. > > You claim to be a "documentary" photographer.

You want down and out blackies on the porch? Or would you like me to go out and shoot the crack salesmen who are coming here to ruin lives in our community? Sorry, I did that already. When I tired of shooting it, I went to the trenches for three years to work at the Food Bank, then at the United Way for a year, until I realized that the government was engineering poverty. You do a lot of assuming, but you don't know me, and you can't judge me from half-assedly looking at my pictures. About all I remember about your work anymore is a bunch of drunks in a barroom, and one portrait of a breath-taking woman.
