I mean, I'm still shy.

Yeah.

But he goes about it differently than me.

And he's so... He is the best photographer of this generation, anyway.

I mean... The pictures that have influence... The young kids don't know how influential his pictures are.

were and are, but like were at the time he took them, just... They were mind-blowing.

He does.

He makes you feel, like I said, at ease because you feel beautiful, you feel important, you feel like he wants you there.

photographs that you did and were you were any of those setups influenced by paintings that he had well it was my home at that time I mean I kind of lived in a museum basically it was like because he showed his his art there and it was um

It was all around me every day, all this incredible stuff.

I mean, there was a Picasso hanging there.

There was Lucian Freud.

There was like, everything was in his house.

And it was like, wow.

And then when I started to do these pictures, it's because I had all these clothes.

And I just wanted to wear them.

And it's like I started wearing them in the house, you know, just every day.

And, you know, the kids would be like, why are you wearing that?

So I just thought, you know what I'll do?

I'll just like put them on and model them, you know.
