 It sort of is how I approached the photography in the beginning, which was as a Wikipedia editor, and we needed photographs. And it didn't necessarily matter to me the quality because I wasn't approaching it as a photographer. I was approaching it as someone who needed media on the articles. My name is David Schenkbaum. I was incredibly broke from law school, I mean, I was months behind on my rent, all this stuff. Sort of was just, you know, laying around my apartment like a bored house cat. In 2006, there were virtually no photographs on Wikipedia articles. You'll be hard pressed to find an upload date that predates 2006. My sister had purchased a camera for my birthday in 2006, and I decided to do something with this camera. So I started showing up at these events that I had access to that didn't cost me money. The very first time I bought a DSLR was the morning of the very first day of the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival, and I had no idea how to use it. So it was, you know, baptism by fire, and the photographs are terrible. They are absolutely terrible. Over the years, I started learning things. I started talking to the professionals. I started looking at their work, the people that I was next to photographing with them. I would look at what they produced versus what I produced. I've always owned equipment that professional photographers that I'm shooting next to, they don't take me seriously. But I feel like over the years I really improved that I started getting really good access. You know, I'm proud of the work that I put out now. Everybody who is going to pay in the first place is going to pay for my work. It's red carpet stuff. It's not art photography. It wasn't meant to be. It was always meant to be candid because it was realistic. I wanted them exactly how they look. People are interesting. People come from so many different backgrounds and capturing them in a moment is something that really fascinates me.
