| an interview with
tonyp I am a self-taught photographer, who
has studied the works of Ansel Adams, Richard
Avedon, Hiro and Franceso Scuvallo, to name a
few.
Since the age of 13 years,
I have been interested in photography. On
my 14th birthday, my father bought me my first
darkroom set. On my 21st birthday, I was
published in The Detroit Free Press. I have
displayed my work throughout the years with other
artists in various shows. However, I feel a need
to venture out on my own now.

| Photography has always
been and always will be my vehicle to express
myself visually. I
feel photography is a talent given to me. I
really don't try to make any statements
with my work. More, I allow myself to share
with others what I feel, whether is good, bad or
indifferent.
...I have always wanted to
paint, however, I really couldn't. That's
how the hand colored photographs came
about. My interest in computers along with
my interest in photography and art, allowed me to
create these images.
