:31:02
Like that.
[Chuckles] A face...
:31:04
Would be... really. The agencies
began to wonder if I didn't have...
:31:09
- some editorial motive in mind.
- [Loud Rumble]
:31:14
Which was not true.
:31:17
But once they planted the idea...
:31:19
[Mother]
Oh, I didn't mean to interrupt, dear.
:31:22
How far better it is to strike a match
than curse the darkness.
:31:27
My mother always told us that.
:31:30
Go on, dear.
:31:33
Well, my career suffered, but there
was nothing I could do about it.
:31:36
You see, the harder I tried
to straighten out...
:31:40
the fuzzier my people got...
:31:42
and the clearer my objects.
:31:45
Soon my people disappeared entirely.
They just somehow never came out.
:31:49
But the objects I was shooting...
brilliantly clear.
:31:55
So I began to do
a lot of catalog work.
:31:58
Pictures of medical instruments...
things like that. It was boring...
:32:00
but it kept me alive.
:32:04
I suppose... the real break...
:32:09
came with the S.C.M. Show.
:32:12
They had me shoot 30
of their new models.
:32:15
They hired a gallery
and put on a computer show.
:32:19
120 color pictures of computers.
:32:28
It got some very strange notices...
:32:31
the upshot of which was that the advertising
business went thing-crazy...
:32:35
and I became commercial again.
:32:37
You must be extremely talented.
:32:40
I got sick of it.
Where the hell are standards?
:32:43
That's what I kept asking myself.
:32:45
I mean, those people
will take anything.
:32:47
Hell, if I give them a picture of shit,
they'd probably give me an award for it.
:32:51
- Language, young man.
- So that's what I do now.
