I am older now (64) than one of my most important mentors was when he passed away (62) and that fact alone encourages me to help anyone who takes a keen interest in some aspect of photography that I have a working knowledge of. I worked for Nick for about a year and half before he passed but, in that time, he taught me one of the most important lessons that I've carried with me and that I hope to pass along: make the best image (and print) you can possibly make no matter how long it takes or how much effort or how many resources. He was the guy who did not want to be known as the one who made it the fastest but the one who made it the best.
