So as I'm riding the bus to come shoot you in the studio the other day, I'm reading this photography article about Fidel Castro and his thoughts on photography.
He said, "We are very sorry that we didn't have a photographer with us during the revolutionary war or during the first years of struggle, while we were underground... There are a few pictures of those days, but there should have been more. We would now be able to write the history of our revolution with those pictures alone. On those occasions, as on so many others, it is only after time passes that people realize that they have been through historical moments that will never be repeated, and that the memory fades. We must preserve these moments through photography."
And while we're no socialist revolutionaries, you get the point. Its the early days that are interesting! Let's keep doing this whenever we get the chance. Next shoot: your NYC show?
