I studied with the legendary black and white photo essayist W. Eugene Smith at the University of Arizona in Tucson while earning my M.A. in theater. I am the last person quoted in Jim Hughes definitive biography of Gene. An archive of my work, in turn, is housed in the U of A Special Collections Library.
My photo essays are also in numerous other institutions in the US and Europe. My prize winning filmsvideos have been shown at festivals in Australia, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, Malta, Spain and the US and aired on several US cable systems.
My eBay store, the David Lee Guss Rare Photos Gallery, with images from 1964 to the present, pays homage to photography, motion pictures including film noir, TV, theater, art, literature and music. I can be reached at orson85@gmail.com
