"After stints with other large and impersonal photo agencies, most notably Gamma-Liaison, it was a miracle to encounter JB. I was introduced to Jocelyne through Maggie Steber. Unlike Gamma, Jocelyne did not send me on speculative and costly wild-goose chases. She encouraged me to trust the instincts I was developing as a self-directed photo essayist. This photograph is from one of the first big projects of mine that she syndicated for our mutual benefit. It started a long process, which continues to this day. I use the funds from re-sales of previous projects to fund future projects. Though the current market makes this process more challenging than ever, I keep going with a faith not unlike JB's."
