He began Photographing in the late 1980's. His first experience with the camera began in Miami. Florida. He took his camera and went into the area of Miami called Little Haiti. He was fascinated with the people and buildings. This fascinations kept with him throughout Chicago and Indianapolis. The photographs didn't survive the journey. however, the experience had. As he get older, his photography leaves the urban settings and concentrates towards the tranquility of nature. He states that nature is so quiet, yet so very busy. 2008, lately his experiences have been enriched by the Hawaiian paradise, the streets of New York City, the tropics of Key West and the Indian caves of eastern Ohio.
His most recent speaking engagments (The Importance of Documentation & The History of ARTE MECCO)-2008, has been at numerous Art and Humanities conferences in Honolulu, Athens-Ohio, Columbia-South Carolina, Philadelphia, New York City, Durham-North Carolina and Chicago just to name a few.

Reviews
1)"…his works follow the vein set by the 20th century French artist Erte’, sleek fluid lines
done in black ink, curved up and down or sideways to form the outline of the women,
with the attire awash in such vibrant colors as plum,
fuschia, tangerine and cobalt”.
Staff writer Ms Kim Hooper Featured Entertainment article of the
Indianapolis Recorder, Saturday September 28, 1991. Indianapolis, Indiana.
2)"…One of the standout artist in this show is Hugeaux.
Energetic, delightful, full of spontaneity”. Art critic Mister Ted Weeks.
The Folio Weekly, February 15, 1994. Jacksonville, Florida.
3)…HIS AIM IN THIS SHOW WAS TO PRESENT A BREATH OF STYLE.
"His untitled work in pastel can be traced to the cubist trail, blazed in the early
1900’s by Braque and Picasso.” Art critic Missis Cynthia Parks.
The Florida Times-Union. February 17, 1994. Jacksonville, Florida.
