Just before Christmas, 2004, I was diagnosed with lymphoma. Some present. After each chemotherapy session I would retreat to our home in the Catskills to recuperate. I began photographing around the house as I was too sick to go anywhere else. As my strength returned, my photographic universe expanded.

Shortly thereafter, Kodak discontinued production of Kodachrome, the film I have used most of my career. I loved Kodachrome, it helped shape my photographic vision. I filled my refrigerator and wine cooler with the stuff and kept shooting. I have outlived my film. Just before Christmas, 2010, I exposed my last roll.
