    Men like me

    Rare Books

    "In the Spring of 2003 I moved to a small seaside town in Southern California ... The town has a reputation for fierce political activism and its residents energetically defend it from any encroachment by national chain stores (which might force our locally owned business), event to the point of threatening to burn down any interloper rash enough to intrude ... Everyone seems determined to reject the 'gentrification' of its local character ... One of them was pointed out by my youngest daughter, Hannah. Looking around, she remarked: 'You fight right in, Dad, there are a lot of old geezers here who look like you.' By which she meant over-the-hill, sartorially-challenged men with abundant facial hair ... That began a photographic project: Men Like Me. All the pictures were taken just after dawn. This is the time of day when I meander along the beach and up the alleys which all lead to the sea. Out of habit I always carry a pocket digital camera, just in case. All the images were taken within a short walk from my home"--From introduction.
