Abraham Goldstein D.O.B.: 11/06/1898 P.O.B.: Connecticut, U.S.A. Residence: New York, N Y, Occupation: Professor of Law; Baruch College (since 1930) What is your view of women? I treat women the same as I do my male friends. What type of woman do you most appreciate? Smart, good appearance. I think Eleanor Roosevelt was a really intelligent person, very capable.
Fernando Belaunde Terry D.O.B.: 10/07/1912 P.O.B.: Lima, Peru Residence: Lima, Peru Occupation: Architect, Former President of Peru (1963-1968 / 1980-1985) What is your view of women? I have a high opinion of contemporary women, especially in Peru, where they have a general role in society. Women of the mountains work hard in the fields. Their participation in agriculture is as important as that of men. It is evident that in the popular sector, their job is more inside the family circle. I used to have a close bond with my mother, as do all children, but I also felt a deep admiration for her artistic sensibility. My wife is not only a companion but also someone who shares my projects and feels identified with me. What type of woman do you most appreciate? I admire women in different ways. For example in religion, one Saint Teresa of Avila, and Sor Juana Inez de la Cruz as a writer, but these are not the only ones.
Froilan Espinoza D.O.B.: 10/31/1917 P.O.B.: Huaitara, Huancavelica, Peru Residence: Lima, Peru Occupation: Teacher What is your view of women? Women are the center of the home, and home is the center of society. They must have the same consideration and respect as men so they can develop themselves as equals. What type of woman do you most appreciate? I like them beautiful, happy, responsible, smart, knowledgeable, and social, like my wife.
Alfred Stokinger D.O.B.: 08/31/1933 P.O.B.: Macedonia, Yugoslavia Residence: Ibiza, Spain Occupation: Art Restorer What is your view of women? There are all kinds of women: some women are made to work, some to have a career, and some woman just to have a good time. I had a very rough childhood because we were very poor and I wanted to have everything, so since I was very young I became a prostitute. The women I found in that way were also complicated and difficult like me. I was married for the first time at 19. That marriage lasted 15 years, the second, 7, and 11 the third. Now I have lived here on this Island for seven years, and have had a girlfriend for the past year and half, though I am ready to leave her. I want to be free now. What type of woman do you most appreciate? I like all kinds of women, but I can’t have one: I get tired of them.
Steve Cannon D.O.B.: 04/10/1935 P.O.B.: New Orleans, Louisiana, U.S.A. Residence: New York, New York Occupation: Writer What is your view of women? If it weren’t for my mother, I wouldn’t be here. There can be no such thing as life without women. They are to be adored, loved and honored. And most important of all, respected for who they are and what they do. They always get what they want. What type of woman do you most appreciate? All women are beautiful. I am mad about them. I like women in different shapes, forms, sizes and colors, but they need to be pleasant and easy to get along with. I quit drinking because of them.
David Redfern (the son of a preacher man) P.O.B.: Ashbourn, England Residence: London, England Occupation: Photographer What is your view of women? Well, I can say I really love women. I am happier in their company. What type of woman do you most appreciate? Not always what I get, but I like someone who is Loving (with capital L) and Sexy (with capital S). I ask a lot because I give a lot. I don’t have any physical preference. I am a great believer of chemistry. If the chemistry is not there, it is not there, and you cannot make it happen. I will lie if I say that I don’t like younger women, younger than myself, because I feel younger than I am. Most of my girlfriends were younger than me.
Lars Westvind D.O.B.: 11/11/1941 P.O.B.: Ludvika, Sweden Residence: New York, New York Occupation: Artist, Real Estate Developer What is your view of women? Women are very different from men, and they are the best companion of a man. They complement each other. It is obvious that to make babies you need a woman. The ideal is for man and a woman to raise a child together. What type of woman do you most appreciate? I like honesty, fairness, gentleness, bravery, also sexy. I like women who like to make themselves attractive. When I see a beautiful woman walking in the streets, I turn around to look at her.
James Corcoran D.O.B.: 08/20/1945 P.O.B.: New York, NY, USA Residence: Los Angeles, California Occupation: Art Dealer Favorite artist? Westermann -- the best American sculptor of the 20th Century.
Robert Vitaglione D.O.B.: 07/17/1949 P.O.B.: New York, USA Residence: Brooklyn, New York Occupation: Catholic Priest (God’s Assistant) What is your view of women? After God created earth, he took a long break. When God created man, he said, “I think I can do better than that.” And after that, he took another long break, after which he created woman. After he created woman, He could never rest again.?
Carl Watson D.O.B.: 07/03/1952 P.O.B.: Hammond, Indiana USA Residence: New York, New York, U.S.A. Occupation: Writer What is your view of women? Divided, driven, puzzling, hypnotic What type of woman do you most appreciate? Fair and fair, afraid and unafraid, enchanted.
Lee Klein D.O.B.: 01/30/1965 P.O.B.: New York, U.S.A. Residence: New York, New York Occupation: Writer What is your view of women? Women are the most complicated, unpredictable species on the planet, but when you need someone, you turn to them. What type of woman do you most appreciate? An intelligent one and one you can trust, in other words, a rare one.
Norman Ohler D.O.B.: 02/04/1970 P.O.B.: Germany Residence: Berlin, Germany Occupation: Writer What is your view of women? Norman Ohler I find women very pleasant. I like to be around them, and vice versa. I am glad the oppression of the female is ending. There’s no paradise without good women. What type of woman do you most appreciate? I most appreciate women who are killers. We all have to liberate ourselves from the patterns of the past. When a woman does that, she becomes infinitely beautiful. I love that woman.
Joseph Geller D.O.B.: 09/04/1975 P.O.B.: Bronx, New York, U.S.A. Residence: New York, New York Occupation: Model, Actor What is your view of women? I believe women are the same as men. What type of woman do you most appreciate? I like all kind of girls; tall, short, sexy, but natural. I look at girls all day. But the most important thing of all is she must be good to me.
Miguel Ruiz Planella Planella D.O.B.: 04/05/1990 P.O.B.: Barcelona, Spain Residence: Barcelona Occupation: Student What is your view of women? The world without the woman, it would not make any sence. They are the opposit of man. Man is more rud strong and the woman is more gentil friendly. What type of woman do you most appreciate? I like a good looking and friendly, the one who trust me.
MAN ON WOMAN is a personal exploration of men’s views on women. The project looks at the evolving relationship between men and women in a rapidly changing world.
Compiling MAN ON WOMAN was a deeply enriching experience, both through the visual journey of capturing photographs and the emotional depth of conducting interviews. One of the most rewarding aspects of the project was witnessing the connections forged between the subjects and their stories. Whether it was a shared passion, a common struggle, or a profound moment of realization, each interaction reveals the power of human connection and empathy. I am confident that the project will resonate with both women and man, offering a unique and engaging experience for all viewers.
Moreover, MAN ON WOMAN is a celebration of diversity, and beauty inherent in every individual. As the project unfolded, it became more than just a series of photographs and interviews—it became a testament to the human spirit and the power of storytelling.
MAN ON WOMAN exhibited at:
Tribes Gallery, New York,
H2O Gallery, Barcelona, Spain,
Icaro Gallery, LA, California,
Centro Cultural de la Universidad Católica, Lima, Perú,
Lafayette College, Easton, PA,
The Belskie Museum of Art in Closter NJ.

The selection of photographs above are taken in Cusco, Machu-Picchu, Chincheros, Ollantaytambo, and Sacsayhuamán.
Cusco, is one of my favorite places in the world, it is a city where the presence of the past feels not distant, and alive.
I have visited Machu Picchu seven times, each journey revealing something new. On one unforgettable occasion, I arrived by helicopter, witnessing the landscape unfold from the air— I used those areal photos to make EL DORADO, portfolio.
There is so much to discover in the architecture left behind by these ancient civilization, yet beyond that is the most powerful and overwhelming presence of the energy, especially at The Huayna-Picchu.

I LOVE NEW YORK
This portfolio reflects the spirit of New York, a collection of images primarily of people encountered on the streets of New York City.
I have a deep love for New York City, a place I have called home for most of my life. New York is to me, the most cosmopolitan city in the world—a living mosaic where, you encounter people of every economic background, race, culture, and religion.
New York remains the true melting pot, a city where coexistence, peace, and mutual respect. We hope we remain faithful to this path for generations to come.
