I was extravagant in the matter of cameras - anything photographic - I had to have the best. But that was to further my work. In most things I have gone along with the plainest - or without.
The series of photographic operations, developing, washing, final drying, takes about quarter of an hour.
When you start out, you're not really aware. I didn't have a sense of photographic history.
I have a photographic memory for numbers.
I would love to have a photographic memory. It would come in handy with the rants I'm given on Scrubs... often on short notice!
When the object that is produced, the photographic image has the ability to make tears come to your eyes; to inspire you to the point where you have to catch your breath, then nothing else matters.
I take it very seriously, the photographic craft.
I was sent to boarding school - a grim place. The only good thing the headmaster did for us was every Sunday evening in the winter he would show us films in the chapel. He couldn't afford a sound projector, so we saw silent films, which you could then still rent from photographic shops.
I was making $50 a week as a house model at Christian Dior for nine months before I learned that photographic models made $50 an hour!
What I'm exploring right now is the subject of my own mortality. It's an area that I'm curious about, and I'm researching it to see if there's a photographic essay in it for me. If images don't start to come, I'll go to something else.
