Dennis Hopper, R.I.P.

It was Dennis and his role in Apocalypse Now that is undoubtedly responsible for my pursuit and love of photography and photo journalism. And is definitely the reason why I chose Nikon years ago. No other images from the cinema have struck me as did those of Dennis with three of four Nikon's dangling around his neck. He's been an iconic figure for me. Years later, I had the pleasure of doing unit still photography on a show of his. I knew I had completed a life dream when I had this privilege of photographing him. He was a great man and also loved art and photography. Thank you for so much, Dennis. You will be missed.
