wanted to be a photographer, but I went the route
of artist first. I spent the
80’s having exhibitions
in Dallas. I had the good
fortune to meet Andy
Warhol who encouraged
me to continue my artistic
endeavors. By the early
90’s I was taking photographs again and people
were REALLY responding
to them and telling me I
had to be a photographer. I
started my web site in 1997
with the hopes that someone in Hollywood would
see it and want me to take
photos and that’s what happened. The Academy Award winning
Director, James Moll hired me to take his photo for the DVD release of ‘The Last Days’ and then asked me to go to LA and take
photos of Steven Spielberg along with some other directors so I
moved to Los Angeles in January 2001.
MBW:
Did you have any other interests as a kid ???
AM: I’m pretty singular in the sense that I was content reading about European countries and cultures, animals
and glamour! LOL!
MBW:
Your photos are distinctly
artistic in subject and composition ... Please tell us what it is
you look for before you snap a
picture ???
AM: I’m not looking for anything in particular except how
to make the reality of who and
what I’m shooting to look the
best they can look. I think of
myself as a guerrilla shooter in
the sense that I often have no
idea what I’m getting myself
into and deal with the realities
