About me: My first name is Didier; I was born in Paris France and spend the first 18 years of my life there. I was a photographer working for a large advertising agency with his own studio and staff. Then 1968 arrived. I did a "Jack Kerouac" and I travel a great deal living in various countries experiencing different cultures. It was a great learning experience and I would love to share it with you except my fingers will soon blister.
I finally arrive to United States in 1971 and made it home base. I worked as a Photographer in LA and did a few shoots for Bullock and May Co and many other clients.
I then made a career moves and got into the Art Glass field and latter I have added metal and stone to my work. I was successful in my quest for creation as well as to be able to live out of my art for many years. With the coming of digital photography, it reopens the gates of my true passion.
I have shot over 55,000 pictures in the last 2 years and I am experiencing a high only some of you can fathom. I will give you a hint: Passion.
Who I'd like to meet: Interesting, clear, passionate and fun people.
INTERESTING, because life is too short to waist it.
CLEAR, if you need to ask...
PASSIONATE, because Passion is everything.
FUN, because you got to have a sense of humor to hang out with me.
