AFTER THE WALL

Prague, Czechoslovakia 1991. The Soviets were leaving and the communist economic structure was disappearing with them.

THE SPANISH

EVERYONE ELSE

I had an assignment to photograph an essay on the making of the movie, “The Cowboys,” starring John Wayne. I spent a couple of days on the movie set. On the second day, a filming day for Wayne, he mostly stood around waiting for the setups. He’d come onto the set, say a few lines, […]
