UHHH- yeah,

Is this the full view, or did you crop-or-try- I'm genuinely in awe, of these, do you- when you show the image is it the full view or-?

Um-yeah-I'm not- I'm willing to crop but the pictures are so slowly made, that I just do all the cropping in the camera for the most part. Um- so that's it, but it doesn't mean there's not a building right here and-y'know- and something ugly right over here, I crop that out while making the picture. I mean, I always say that photography for me is an art of editing, it's uh-like it's just as much about what you leave out about what you put in. And-um that's been the lesson of pulling out the chicken and uh- leaving things out, leaving things for the imagination. And so that-uh- I don't know what this is but normally I don't tell the whole story behind a picture, this is this- sort of ongoing battle for me is how much information to give people, how much to tell. and it's something I'm constantly struggling with [smacking lips] What- are you having, a hard time hearing. uh- feel free to tell me to talk louder, any questions so far? I'm moving quickly here. uh-

How many shots do you take? I-mean how many shots [undecipherable]

Question is how many pictures do I take? it's- uh- Early on, very few, so with Adeline over there on Ashwin's Day, I took two, uh- because it's quite expensive um- it's like twenty dollars each click, so now it sorta comes down to funding y'know in a lot cases, so in fashion work I'm like crazy with it and it got to be very fast, so I can take a lot, or- or not, all these pictures were made in that way with a large format camera. But I've done other projects with other cameras, and it's not just this, necessarily.
