Rose, Hanne, Saul paper and wire
I was born in New York in 1949. As a family we followed the electronics industy up to the Boston area. My high school days were spent at the Cambridge School of Weston, class of '67. I learned to cook watching educational television. I went to college at Wesleyan University (class of 1971 or 1972, depending on how you count).

Titles: Now and then something out there talks to you, The Danish Landscape, Life and Death, From Document to Hallucination, Mixed Marriages, Yesterday I didn't Drink, Photographers Photograph Artists, Hallucinations, Some we have shown and some we wanted to show, Denmark West of the Great Belt, Poland and Poles in Peacetime.

I spent a semester in Paris, being taught by structuralists with Gauloises stuck to their lips. In 1970 after a memorable student strike there was suddenly no difference between being at school and summer vacation. I wound up in Denmark in northern Jutland at a photography workshop, happy days when "centers" of education were being established. I learned that there were other ways of learning. I nagged my way into continuing my university time in Europe. I met Hanne, still my wife, on a fall vacation charter flight from Denmark to Paris. We lived in Paris, Denmark, Boston, Paris again, and Denmark again.

In Boston I learned how to repair a Xerox machine. I studied non-representational film at the University of Vincennes and Aikido in the heart of Paris. We tried to open a school. I co-built and ran a French restaurant. I travelled with Odin Teatret as cook, photographer, and translator. I worked as a medical photographer for 13 years. I became a member of Image Fotografisk Galleri in 1981 (Aarhus, Denmark) and am now co-leader. I just got my Masters of Multimedia Arts degree and got reaquainted with my structuralist friends. I survived building the wire and paper construction you can see on the top of the next column.
Sebastian, my first kid, saw a lot of the Venezuelan jungle, worked in the Dominican Republic, and is now with FutureBrand in New York City. Leah, my second kid, did show jumping and was a model but now bangs the drum and is at NEU's music industry program.
