Poems Along the Path

Michael originally published the poems and photographs in this collection in his blog, where they are scattered like jewels throughout the postings that chronicled the last two years of his life. Here, brought together and arranged by the themes into which they naturally fall, the poems tell the same story in a different, but equally powerful way.

Gone But Still Here

One of the recurring themes of Michael's photography and poetry is the felt presence of the spirits of the departed. Michael's spirit, which inspired so many people, is still very much alive in his work, nowhere more so than in his account of his Shikoku Pilgrimage and in his photographic Slice of Japan.

A Tribute to Michael

In the summer of 2007, Michael was thrilled to be accepted as a member of the Soho Photo Gallery. He had planned to have an exhibit in the autumn of that year, but his illness made it impossible. We are happy to bring his plans to fruition. His show, East Village Portraits, will be on view at the gallery through July 4.

Gallery hours are Wednesday thru Sunday, 1-6 p.m. Soho Photo is located at 15 White Street, New York, NY. That is 3 blocks south of Canal Street, between 6th Avenue and West Broadway. The gallery is close to several subway stops: the #1 line to Franklin Street or the A, C, E, N, R or #6 lines to Canal Street.
