yesterday i posted a story about william albert allard under "family/friends"….in that story i mentioned his "healthy ego"…. we have already discussed the role "talent" plays in your work… but now, i have a maybe more interesting question for you: how large a role does "ego" play in your work??
i am such a romantic it is really sickening actually….full moons kill me……i am looking at a half-moon out my window right now and that is not bad either…cliche romantic that i am, i like the wine and candlelight mood for "communicating" to someone with whom i am interested…jack johnson playing and my lights turned …
last night i sat in the audience and listened to a master….a man i have respected my entire photographic life….humbling…..the man does not stop……and for most of his work he never really left home…. bruce davidson’s lecture was concurrent with his exhibition "Time of Change" at the Aperture Foundation …bruce gave an "old fashioned" slide …
