“For over thirty years I have photographed dance, theatre, and music in New York City — as house photographer at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Lincoln Center, the Park Avenue Armory, Carnegie Hall, and the Metropolitan Museum, and as a culture photographer for the New York Times. My work started as documentation: a record of the artists, companies, and productions that defined a particular moment in the city's cultural life.”
