> STATEMENT

Studied photography with Lisette Model & Ben Fernandez.
Suited it at IBM for many years & taught in NYU Film School for a few years.
Photographing since adolescence, through obsolescence,
including 33 years making images and sharing mixed emotions with Ed Otto.
We never signed; we never showed.
Now I can't even say whether some of the old pix were shot by Ed or by Fred.
All the new pix must be mine, since Ed's gone, and here I am, signing & showing.

Artist's Statement
I'm fascinated by the relationship and organization of
light, shade, color, line, form and memory,
especially as manifest in visual art,
and in the visions seen behind our closed eyelids.
