Appeared on a local radio station yesterday morning to discuss the exhibit and my career. It was a very informal interview and the half-hour segment flew by. Unfortunately, there isn’t a recorded copy of the show, but a friend did manage to make this iPhone photo… ~cg.
On the air during an interview on WTBQ-FM radio in Warwick, NY on Friday morning, May 10, 2013. I spoke about my 25-year career as a newspaper photographer, international volunteerism for medical and disaster relief non-profits, personal travel work, and my current exhibit entitled, “A Photographer’s Life” at A Repeat Performance Antiques in Greenwood Lake, NY.
