Monroe - Limited Edition of 20 Photograph

Once upon a time in the early 60s there was a towheaded little boy who had so many Hot Wheels cars that his mother didn't know where to put them all. So she decided to plop the boy on a large couch, and with the help of his sister, they lined up every car on the couch to count them. By the time they were done, there wasn't much of the boy left to be seen. They had also lost count. His father found this all quite amusing, proceeding to grab a Brownie camera and photograph the scene. "OH, what is THAT?!?, said the little boy, and his father just laughed. Almost a half century later, what you see here, is what became of the little boy and the cameras that followed.... Peter has a great love of Formula One and vintage autos that often figure prominently in his images. He predominately works in Black and White. For over 25 years, he worked throughout the US and Europe as a commercial and auto racing photographer with numerous clients and publications being published throughout the world. He followed with an exploration of cinematography, becoming a respected director of photography winning awards for his work. Over the past decade, Peter has returned to his roots and his love of the still camera, concentrating on fine art B&W work. Some of his influences include Ansel Adams, Galen Rowell, Helmut Newton, Herb Ritts, Brad Washburn, and Weston. He also teaches classic photographic technique on a selective basis and dabbles with cartoons and furniture design. Peter works primarily with rangefinder cameras and does NOT manipulate any of his images by digital photo or graphics programs except for standard darkroom type techniques like dodging and burning. All of his prints are custom archival prints signed and numbered in limited edition runs. His work hangs in Galleries and private collections throughout North America, Canada, and Europe. He has had many solo exhibitions and won awards throughout the US. His work has been chosen for display at the International Environmental Film Festival, The International Conference On Global Warning, and St Jude's Children's Hospital.
