Gary is a photographer and auctioneer. Here is a snippet of an interview by SHOUTOUT COLORADO
We live in an age of acrimony, fed by soundbites and stereotypes. What inspires me is the opposite. As a benefit-fundraising auctioneer for so many years, every bias of my own — religious, political, cultural, racial, gender, ideological — gets challenged constantly by the incredible generosity and commitment displayed from a broad swath of our community to a variety of causes.
A poem by William Carlos Williams, profound in its simplicity, means a lot to me:
so much depends
upon
a red wheel
barrow
glazed with rain
water
beside the white
chickens.
