If no one wants to jump into a Kim Weston and drive it down the street. That's fine with me I don't care. I know my work is good and I know it's serious work.
affected definite famous uncle
Uncle Brett had a definite vision that he was after, I don't think having a famous father affected him much.
dad edward family heard leave stories travel
I didn't want to travel. I didn't want to leave my family. I heard all these stories from Dad about not having Edward around when he was young, and I didn't want that to happen.
child painting prodigy realized short time tried
I tried painting for a short time and realized that I was not a child prodigy at painting.
behind expose
If you're not going to tell something if you're not going to expose something it's real easy to go in and photograph from behind the camera and not expose any of your weaknesses.
essence eventually next putting
To me, that is the essence of me as a photographer. It is those ideas, working with them, formulating them and eventually putting them down on paper, photographing them and then going on to the next step.
Well, now I'm an old photographer and I still don't sell.
famous felt
I felt no pressure that my grandfather was famous and my uncle was famous.
rightly work
Galleries, and they're all the same, and rightly so, they sell work.
great outside time
That's not to say that some day I won't go outside again, but I'm having a great time working on this process.
My surprises come usually once I start rolling and photographing.
My son does a little photography, but he's not involved the way I was.
art
I was always confident in my art and in myself as an artist.
classic deciding model models playing work
I'm not photographing the model in the classic sense; the model is playing a part in my photographs. It's more like theater. I always work with models I know, and I let them participate in deciding how to act their part.
