"I primarily did photobooth from 1969-1976. I used a Woolworth's at the Cross County Shopping Center in Yonkers and a Woolworth's in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. The store managers certainly knew who I was!! I was intimidated by cameras and developing processes as a kid, and the instant gratification of the photobooth attracted me. I began working with myself because I was the most available subject. These match box pieces were done 16 years ago when I was 18. The layering of images and the surprise inside are what interested me about them."

"Photobooth introduced me to production values. I looked at my photobooth pictures as enactments, and sometimes it would take me three or four times to enact a picture that I was happy with. The execution of the image you conjure up is the most important thing. You have to make it believable. I work in advertising now, still inventing rather than taking my photos."
