After more than two decades of photography, people would always ask me when I was going to curate my show, which left me with the same question: What would my show be about?

It couldn't just be a series of chosen photos displayed out of context. I eventually realized that my show would be a photographic journey through time, presented chronologically with the stories behind each image, detailing what happened on that day to capture that exact moment.

“There are a lot of recognizable faces and there are a lot of faces that you won’t recognize and wonder why. That’s the beauty of the Hollywood Hopeful concept. Not everybody has the same story, and images live on to celebrate those people… no matter where their paths lead ."

“The name Hollywood Hopeful became clear to me because it describes not only everyone I have photographed but also myself. We never stop hoping as artists, no matter what level of success we achieve”.
