Richard Prince's Most Famous Photograph Was Made

My Dad Had Been An Ardent Amateur Photographer, And He Taught Me To Compose A Photograph From The Back To The Front, And Then Populate The Picture.

I Did A Story For The Geographic On Meriwether Lewis And William Clark, And Stephen Ambrose Was The Writer. He Said, "i've Got The Easiest Job In The World. I Just Have To Re-tell The Story Of The Greatest Fishing, Camping, Hunting, Canoeing Trip Of All Time. You, Sam, Have The Hardest Job, Which Is, Pretend Like Nothing Has Happened In The Last 200 Years.

I Was A Consultant For Kodak Back In The Late 80's. There Were Engineers There Who Told Me That In The Future, Most Photographs Would Be Taken On Telephones. They Weren't Able To Do Anything With That. They Were Engineers, Not Management.

It Matters Little How Much Equipment We Use; It Matters Much That We Be Masters Of All We Do Use.

That's Who Comes To My Workshops. I Jokingly Tell My Students That The Class Could Be Called "your Photographs: Better."
