Contact | Richard

contact2Richard

Richard was one of the first subjects that I photographed and contacted, after the fact, to share the result of a street portrait. Being my first foray into that whole experience, I was a bit weird while taking the photo, he was a bit weird for taking up half the sidewalk, but his response to my email was the weirdest of  all

More Contact after the break…

 Hi Richard,

We met a couple months ago on the street when I asked to take a portrait of you and your piano. I just developed the film with you image on it, and I thought you would like to have a copy.

Thanks and nice meeting you,
Graham

RE: New York Street Portrait:

Wow Graham, 

Holy moly, I’ve never saw something whole, that picture was whole because it’s finished. And I actually saw it, so the whole thing actually was actually whole.  You must wholy understand the amazing powers of making life feel whole for others.  Had you not sent me the picture, the whole reason for taking my picture would cease to be wholy understood.  Thank you 
Holy moly is right. Still not sure what that all meant, but I’m taking it as a compliment.

  1. obviously you went above and beyond and the “whole nine yards’ when you took the time to send richard his photo. to him, your photo exposes your amazing powers….’the whole enchilada’ of powers, in fact. I’m wholly impressed.
