Life can be defined as making decisions. Doubtless, the greatest decisions I have made can be reduced to a handful of instances. Of course, the first important decision I made was to commit to photography; the second was to use only the Leica; the third was to practice yoga every morning; the fourth was th eschew commercial photography and concentrate entirely on my personal work; the fifth great decision was to share my life with Mary Jane; the sixty was to stop drinking and, more recently, the seventh was to move to digtal photography. There we have it! 80 years in seven decisions.
I have a strong nostalgia for the future.
