  • Michael was a highly sought after commercial portrait photographer + photojournalist. His work was regularly featured in Time, New York Times, Newsweek + People among many others. His photographs are in major collections including the Smithsonian, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago, the California Museum of Photography + various private collections.

"There is something extremely poignant about these pictures. There comes a point where the transience of the laughter + the music, the booze + the cigarettes + the drugs, pushes us into a contemplation of the mortality of the participants + then on to our own.”

Nick Hornby
