Non-notable photographer. Minimal relevant Ghits (minus multiple same-name hits related to basketball and an IMDB-listed crew member of the same name, among others) indicates some mentions of a commercial wedding/portrait photographer who did some teaching. The article was at one time inflated with hyperbole and unreferenced claims regarding "legendary" status as a Hollywood photographer and one-time associate of George Hurrell; these seemed to have been related to an attempt to glamorize a now-deleted article for his student and executor, contemporary photographer Seth Sabal (deletion debate here); they emanated from the same single-purpose (or near so) editors. The man existed, was a photographer, and engendered some respect among his peers, but no indication of exhibitions, multiple publications, reviews, etc., per WP:BIO.
