List five things on your Inspiration Wall (real or imagined).
1. My first passport.
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,250 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
2. Flyer from my first gallery show (Nocturnal).
3. Transcript from the lunch I had with Richard Avedon before he died (no transcript exists although I did have lunch with him).
4. The “Carousel” diptych that I recently hung in my living room.
5. My first medium format camera (a twin lens Yashicamat)
What’s your dream camera set-up?
Quite happy with my Bronica. Could use an few new lenses, a better flash, new running shoes, a good pair of boltcutters and an invisibility cloak though.
What was the last thing you shot?
Phoenix ComicCon
What is the next thing you’re going to shoot?
Tanque Verde Swapmeet
What’s something you want Phoenix to know about you? (And, if you’re game, what’s something you really don’t want Phoenix to know about you?)
Hobart Epstein lives.
