It's even more suspicious when this someone else is his apprentice. How can you advice your apprentice that you cannot get rich by selling art photography, at the same time that you are drown in money from just that? Good thing for Jason that he didn't take that too seriously. <br />The fact that Kenna has so many successful imitators of his work, maybe it says something for the quality and the singularity of the work itself.<br /><br />On a lighter note, how can you be "always ready for the right moment" carrying three different medium format cameras with you? I always carry just one camera with a prime attached and 99% of the times I'm not ready! I guess that what differentiates a good photographer from a bad one.<br />Zisis Kardianoshttp://www.zisiskardianos.grnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935046131385109105.post-42117941166158531462012-12-09T09:43:36.564-08:002012-12-09T09:43:36.564-08:00Great interview Blake and wonderful work by Jason!...Great interview Blake and wonderful work by Jason! My usually facile analysis indicates more of a Ralph Gibson/Bill Brandt influence (with a side of Steiglitz) than Kenna -- and great to see it after all these years but without the grain. ;-D Jason, why do you crop square images 4x5?Benhttp://www.bennettlevinephotographs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935046131385109105.post-68516209052004704722012-12-07T07:17:37.724-08:002012-12-07T07:17:37.724-08:00How many people had I already photographed?

But this time, it was an American and an fellow street photographer. That wasn't supposed to make any difference to me, but it did. Shit... photographing a man with a Nikon D4 in this place was like handing out speeding tickets in the Indy 500. I took the photo. What the hell else was I gonna do?

When I was in Portland Maine, I wanted to be in Portland Oregon; when I was there, all I could think of was getting back to Eugene. I'm here a week now... waiting for a photograph... getting softer. Every minute I stay in Eugene, I get weaker, and every minute Blake squats in the darkroom, he creates more prints. Each time I looked around the walls moved in a little tighter.
