Be creative.
Though I’m incredibly awful at responding to e-mails, I do read everything that I receive. I got this complement in a message yesterday:
“That new photo you took of Josiah with the hat and the cigarette, for some reason I just love it more than any other. I think when Josiah gets big, that’s going to be one of those iconic rock photos like the famous Annie Leibovitz Rolling Stone cover photo of John and Yoko or the Lynn Goldsmith photo of Patti Smith used on the Easter album cover.”
Anything comparing my photograph to Leibovitz’s cover of John and Yoko completely makes my day.
By the way, the limited prints of that photograph are still available for purchase! Even though it is a run of 25, I’ll only be selling a couple more and will be saving the rest for future exhibitions.
