Donald Greenhaus photography

I got into photography chasing a ghost – my father’s. My initial love of photography came from him and his love for photography. When my father died, they had a hard time deciding what to put on his gravestone. My brother Edwin said, “He loved his camera. Why don’t we put that on it.” So my mother had a Speed Graphic carved on my father’s gravestone.

I actually don’t know how early I began. I do know that I was four years old and I started drawing and painting. Anyone wanting me would know to follow the crayon marks on the walls and furniture until they found me covered with color, happily lost in my reverie.
