What about taking pictures of her?

Cause there's amazing portraits of her and I think in like a hotel or something.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, she kind of performs the truth somehow.

Yeah.

In the fiction, it's the truth.

Another one of my favorite images by you is the Michael Stipe one where he's in the water and he himself has been on the podcast before and I'm a friend of his and I think he's so extraordinary.

But honestly, I think it's my favorite portrait that was ever taken of him is the one where he's like closed his eyes and he's like in the water.

What is your favorite camera to take pictures with?

And do you develop your own pictures?

When you did do it, was it something that you enjoyed?

Was there a sense of transformation in it?

With a square format camera, I guess you never see the images until you print them.

What was the most surprising result or rewarding result when you developed an image and then discovered what you'd taken?

I used to love Fishley and Weiss when they did double exposures.

I think one member of Fishley and Weiss would take a picture and then the other one would go out and take pictures over the film.

And then they developed it and you could see both images in one photograph.

Yeah.

They were really atmospheric and beautiful.

I always found your portraits of Sinead O'Connor really startling.
