Did you stop taking photos then?
A bit, yeah. I don’t actively take cameras around with me like I used to. The daily life I live isn’t conducive to the way I used to take photos when I was younger. I don’t want to sound corny, but there are certain photos in the book that when I’m in these other countries, I’m taking photos of people out in public. I’m glad I have the photos, but it’s an intrusive act. Of course not all of them, but there are some that were taken without permission.
Anyone who knows about taking photos and keeping your negatives organized, I didn’t get mine organized until a couple of years ago. That’s when I started the process of doing this book. When all of the photos were in my computer finally and I could look through them for the first time. Like, “Wow, that’s 1998.” It felt like time travel to live through the photos again., just like I’m insecure about my painting and a bit about the products that I make.
This guy interviewed me yesterday and he was really nice, and he said, “I’ve heard that a photographer without an Instagram is like a director without a reel nowadays.” I heard him — because I don’t have an Instagram account. There’s a fake one made of me. I only bring this up because I think with this book, there’s so much imagery that you’ve never seen before. It’s not on your phone or computer; it’s only in this book.
I like that it’s something I’ve made and someone can have this book on a shelf in their house and someone comes over and they don’t know who the fuck I am, and they start to look through it. And who knows how much longer walking, talking, breathing, brain-function animals will be on this planet? But so long as this book is on someone’s shelf, someone can come over and look at it outside of the person who bought it.
