I had always planned to do a book called, “Home & Away” but as I looked through my work, I realized there was just too much to fit into one book.

Part of the reason for this is that for fifty years I lived in a unique building, the bank at 190 Bowery. In addition to an enormous amount of rooms and a decidedly decadent amount of space, it had 360° panoramic views of lower Manhattan,

I never had to worry about having a camera with me, I had all my cameras with me. “I live here.”

I never took it for granted when I came home from exotic locations; it was always there waiting for me. I had snow, rain, incredible light, New York rooftops, and the street at my disposal.

I’ve always been a dumpster diver and an incurable collector of tools, books, ephemera of all kinds. That too became grist for my mill.

I have always tended to “stay in” since I traveled so much. This collection is the product of daily shooting for almost 50 years.

It’s about looking out at New York City, and about looking inwards to the place I had put together, which though voluminous and eccentric was “home” to me.
