I spent the following years on the jet-set party circuit capturing snaps of socialites and celebrities for Vogue. The job offered me a rare opportunity to create an anthropological study of high society at its most uninhibited. While working at these upscale events, I noted that the glib perfection of the jeunesse d'oree only represented a small fraction of the riches available to my lens.

I saw aging stars weighed down by their jewels; I saw oysters wearing caviar These were images I was compelled to record. Knowing that they were not right for Vogue, I kept them to myself. Over time I saw an interesting accumulation of images emerge, which I then exhibited in galleries.
