Well, a photograph of somebody is such a different...
thing than seeing them in person.
Yeah, yeah.
Photography is still- Very powerful, right?
I mean, I'm still a photographer, and these are still, in my view, these are still photographs.
I'm just, like my first book of portraits, because I've always been a, I worked in advertising my whole career for decades, and then I realized, like I was always into people.
and photographing people, but I never did it professionally.
I was always shooting products.
And finally, I decided to do a little side project.
My first book, which was titled Create Equal, which is a collection of American portraits, went to each of the lower 48 states and photographed everything that exists in the U.S., all the iconic, like a cowboy, ballerina, auto mechanic.
Oh, like kind of American iconography?
Yeah, yeah, basically.
And polygamists in Utah paired with a pimp from Chicago.
You know, a pimp with his three girls and a polygamist with his two wives.
Or there was some kind of pairing that was poignant, hopefully.
Or just funny or interesting.
Yeah.
After that book came out, I would see people look at it and they would just be like, oh, what does he look like?
I want to hear what he sounds like.
I want to know his story.
