He now specializes in views of New York City. His favorite camera is a 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 roll film camera and a 3 1/2 x 4 1/2 roll camera, both over 20 years old. He also uses a Rolleiflex and a Retina for the kodachrome slides. Most of his prints are developed in adurol and copied on slow chloride paper, frequently toned.
