Born at the start of world war II, Al’s perspective as an artist has been shaped by the contrasting periods of economic difficulty and prosperity through which he has lived. Life has taught him to help the less fortunate, to do his part and to never throw anything out because he may need it in the future. these messages have inspired him to portray ordinary items as pieces of interest rather than junk. Photography is Al’s outlet for passing these messages to others. View Al's website here.
