What\u2019s the best thing about photography?<\/strong>
\nPhotography provides me with an \u201cinterested eye to the world. I experience more when I photograph.<\/em><\/p>\nWhat\u2019s the thing that interests you most about other people’s photographs?<\/strong>
\nThe opportunity to share their unique twist on reality.<\/em><\/p>\nWho were your early photographic influences?<\/strong>
\nThe influences that I remember were from books and magazine\u2019s of my parents – Eisenstaedt, Horace Bristol, Steichen, Elliott Erwitt, Dorothea Lange.<\/em><\/p>\nWho are your photographic influences now?<\/strong>
\nElliott Erwitt, Joel Meyerowitz, Jacques Henri Lartigue, John Free<\/em><\/p>\nHow do you know when an image doesn’t work?<\/strong>
\nWhen the image lacks my personal point of view or only weakly expresses it.<\/em><\/p>\nWhat’s the most useful photographic mantra?<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s hard to capture an image without your camera.<\/em><\/p>\nDo you practice another art form? (If so, which?)<\/strong>
\nI\u2019ve been know to create metal sculpture. (My college major)<\/em><\/p>\nWhat benefits do you get from (this\/these) other art form\/s?<\/em>
\nSculpture has made me conscious of dimensionality in my work. I do my best to translate a 3D visual experience into a 2D expression.<\/em><\/p>\nWhich was the most important image to you that got away?<\/strong>
\nOne of those \u201cleft my camera at home\u201d situations. It was 1992 and the L.A. riots were in full swing and I was driving on the freeway and saw a large storage business on the frontage road with a background of many burning buildings. The neon sign on the building was meant to read \u201cPUBLIC STORAGE\u201d. The \u201cSTO\u201d had burned out and now read \u201cPUBLIC RAGE\u201d. It would have made an amazing visual comment on the situation.<\/em><\/p>\nWhat accomplishment are you most proud of?<\/strong>
\nBeing honored by the the Smithsonian in 2000 for my contribution to the digital revolution.<\/em><\/p>\nIf you had another life to live a completely different life, what would you choose to do?<\/strong>
\nI\u2019d love to be a bluegrass fiddler.<\/em><\/p>\nWhat is your greatest regret?<\/strong>
\nThat I spent too many of my years in the music business making other people look good.<\/em><\/p>\nWhat\u2019s your most treasured possession?<\/strong>
\nThe love of art – passed on to me by my mother.<\/em><\/p>\nWhat\u2019s your motto?<\/strong>
\n\u201cShare Your Knowledge!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nHow would you like to die?<\/strong>
\nLike George Inness, the painter, who was viewing the sunset, when he threw up his hands into the air and exclaimed, “My God! oh, how beautiful!”, fell to the ground, and died.<\/em><\/p>\nWhat\u2019s your favorite book?<\/strong>
\n\u201cJitterbug Perfume\u201d by Tom Robbins<\/em><\/p>\nWhat do you most value in your friends?<\/strong>
\nAn open mind and heart<\/em><\/p>\nWhat is the trait you most deplore in others?<\/strong>
\nGreed<\/em><\/p>\nWho were the most important photographers?<\/strong>
\nJoseph Nic\u00e9phore Ni\u00e9pce, Lewis Hine, Edward Weston, Dorothea Lange, Jerry Uelsman<\/em><\/p>\n\n
