Joe and I

These four images represent an evolution of my photography skills over the last 29 years.  I made my first exposures of GI Joe when I was almost eleven years old in 1972 and the most recent image was made in 2001.  Photographically I have come full circle; I made my first photos of Joe with a point & shoot camera that gives you no control over the final image other than the framing of the subject, to now having total control over the image in that I can manipulate it at will through the use of image-editing software.
