Two Mirrors. First Color Print sale (Paris Photo).

The last time I was at Paris Photo was back in 2004. I flew out from LA and remember flying through a storm creating enough turbulence to have passengers (including myself), screaming and thinking this was it. But worse than that they stopped serving food and I arrived in Paris hungry and a little roughed up. It was the launch of my first book, Night Vision- Intimacies of an Unblinking Eye at a time when my work sold on a more regular basis. I loved those trips to Paris and often feel a little sad when Paris Photo (now in its 28th year) comes around and for whatever reason I am not there. Paris Photo is also where I sold my first color prints (actually a set of 10). I had only been making color work for a year or so and was not even sure if there was a market for the fruity landscapes I was producing. It was the start of something new and exciting, or rather, “nouveau et passionnant”.
