I Think Knowing People By First Names,

Today A Lot Of Things Are So Celebrity-oriented; It's Only Because It's Celebrity And The Photograph Is Lost. To Me It's Important To Have An Image That Is A Photograph First, Not About Necessarily Who That Person Is.

I Always Enjoyed Art History Because, Growing Up In California, My Exposure Was Limited, And It Was A New Experience. To Learn The History Of Art Opened Up Certain Things To Me, Made Me See. It Intrigued Me.

Actually, When I First Started Dabbling In Photography, I Was Still Working For My Parents As A Salesman.

Many People Who Excel Are Self-taught.

I Think A Lot Of The Time These Days People Are So Concerned About Having The Right Camera And The Right Film And The Right Lenses And All The Special Effects That Go Along With It, Even The Computer, That They're Missing The Key Element.
