Thanks to all who've let me know how awful this interview is and what a terrible stupid person I am. I admit to being a little star struck and this is definitely not my best.

I look forward to seeing your interviews so that I may bask in your glory.

@MrPinkholga Thanks. I googled heartbeat sounds, saved the files and then strung them together in the audio track for the intro. This isn't my best work, but I really appreciate the positive feedback.

So few photographers are actual artists - even many of the ones who call themselves such. Most are actually engineers and archivists. Witkin, however, is one of the few that belong to that small group of true photographic artists. Thanks for posting this.

It seems internet people all have critical opinions but do/share very little themselves. Thanks for sharing this, one of my favorite photogs.
