Biography

(on "Carnival of Souls"'s low budget): "We had basically no special effects whatsoever. The only 'special effect' per se is the time Candace Hilligoss rolls up her window and Herk (Harvey)'s ghost picture comes into it. We created that in the studio ourselves. We did it with a mirror." (2000)

"I've been a professional photographer for 50 years. My wife and I had lived in California and really didn't feel like moving back there. I did a lot of movie work and all of the still work for Centron. I prefer to do still photography. I came here to Kansas City and I got out of the motion picture business because it was too expensive. A lot of the stuff I did was food photography. I also did portraits to please myself, not to please the person I was photographing. You get a little old lady saying, 'Make me look like I'm 20 years old.'" (2000)
