for all this digital work, i shoot with a konica minolta maxxum 5D.
and this is the most recent love of my life:
that's a polaroid 330 Land camera...meaning over 30 years old! and mine is B-R-A-N-D N-E-W!
Models, make-up artists, other artists, people who want their picture taken, free-spirited and open-minded people!
Don Ed Hardy, my favorite person that I've never met.
and i would give anything to have the talent that Alfonse Mucha had in his pinky finger.
i also strongly admire David LaChapelle, Don Henley, Elliott Erwitt, Grace Slick, Marty Balin, both my parents-Julie Gabor & Dave Mariani, Philippe Halsman, Roger Hodgson, Salvador Dali, Stephen King, and Sailor Jerry. Legends.
My real hero, the person who has influenced me the most, been there through thick & thin, and is basically responsible for the path i chose - Pat Gilbertson - my art teacher of six years. Someone I will always hold close and never forget.
