It was in 1972 when JJ became
acquainted with the various magazines that
had the kind of photographs that he favored.
They were a bit expensive for a student,
10 USD, he claims. The ones that he liked
the most were published by Home of Milan.
He bought a couple back then. He thought
that he could do something like that, only
more artistic and more to his taste. But
to get into Erotic Art in those days was
not easy, he didn't know anyone in the business
and he imagined then that it was probably
controlled by the Mob.
He didn't like most of the porn magazines
of the time, although he was impressed by
their daring. There was something missing,
for his particular taste.
He was a film student and part of his training
was in still photography, in fact after
a bried stint at CBS in New York he joined
a commercial photography studio where he
was involved in fahion and advertising.
He quit after two years to embark in the
life of an independent filmmaker.
Finally, when he met Camille and she dared
him to go into Erotic Filmmmaking with Red
Feline on the Cross, he started doing what
he thought would be impossible in 1972. |
