“It was a brutal snowing winter when Playboy magazine asked Hunter S. Thompson to be interviewed. Hunter was cold and up to his knees in snow at his Owl Farm in the mountains in Aspen, CO, so of course he said, “Sure, let’s do it in Cozumel!”, an island in the Caribbean. “Call that guy in Florida, Al what’s-his-face, to do the pictures.” Hunter and I had been friends for several years prior. Hunter kept coming to Florida, in his gonzo journalist role, to cover Richard M. Nixon, President of the United States at the time and Hunter’s arch enemy. Hunter would always call me so we could meet up somewhere, usually in Miami, and sometimes in Palm Beach where I lived at the time and we’d be off on some crazy lark. This photo was taken one afternoon after Hunter had finished several hours of interviews on the beach at El President Hotel in Cozumel where we were staying. Hunter was looking forward to heading into town to hit the local bar, Pepe’s, where we would hang out, drink and talk until it was time for dinner. Never without my camera, I kept shooting (not an easy thing to do while you’re drinking with Hunter). Since Hunter and I already had a friendship, he was easy to work with. Hunter being Hunter, the time we spent together was never dull. Considered by some to be a quintessential Hunter shot, this image is in the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery.”

In 1980 he moved to New York City to form his own production company and concentrate on advertising. For the next 15 years he did a wide range of national and international advertising work, becoming known for his saturated color images and keen sense of design and composition..... from action and aerial work, to miniatures in the studio, to major production campaigns in worldwide locations. Some of his advertising clients include American Express, Coca Cola, Dole, DuPont, Eastman Kodak, Johnson Outboards, Kent Int'l, Molson, Nikon, Oldsmobile, Porsche, Polaroid, R J Reynolds, Saab, Sony, Tuborg, Universal Studios and Westinghouse.

He has lectured at Boston University, Brooks Institute of Photography, Hallmark Institute of Photography, ASMP, NYU/Tisch School of the Arts, PhotoExpos in Los Angeles & New York. He has given workshops at Dawson College (Montreal), ICP (NYC), Kauai Photographic (Hawaii), the Maine Workshops, the Missouri Workshops, Palm Beach Photographic Workshops, Santa Fe Workshops & his own studio in New York City.
