A few years ago I was contacted to take a headshot of Gary for one of his books to be published in German. I spent several hours at Gary and Marnia's house taking various headshots and was so impressed by their kindness and generosity. They gifted me with several of their books, which I read and learned so much from. One of the great gifts and conversely, curses, of being a photographer is that you never know if your photograph will be one of the last ones taken of a person. And so I always go into a new photography session with that thought in mind. I pray that my photo of Gary reveals even a small inkling of his brave heart, fierce intelligence and caring humanity - so that others who did not know Gary will be touched by him.
