Well, I got hijacked by rock bands and I, um...
I persevered in that I was actually angry at you for convincing me that I'm planting the seed of destiny, which was join a rock band.
I loved rock music, but I did not like having to compromise my photo passion, so that turned into becoming an obsessive documentarian.
And I took- Wise, by the way.
Turns out that a quarter of a century later, a little bit of my photos are in the memoir, but following the memoir is my 90s rock photography museum exhibit and photo book that comes out in September.
So I took a roll of film every day in Hole and the Smashing Pumpkins.
I did not know that.
And I have 15... Did you notice me taking photos on stage every show?
No, not at all.
Yeah, you were busy.
But I, especially once I joined the Pumpkins and I didn't have to play like sidekick backup vocalist,
Foot switches, timers.
I had three cameras on every stage that we played.
And I'm going to deliver you in another time an amazing, like, photo album.
I love that.
But so I took a roll of film a day, and now it's been a quarter century.
And now my documentarian photography is actually going to get a light of day because the archive is now deemed as a time capsule, which it is.
And lost in the analog digital transition.
So even the people who documented it, and as you know, we came from like indie cool, and then all of a sudden we were like Mark Sillinger, fancy photography.
We didn't have the in-between, so there's actually an under-documented image.
