Re: Biographies

Dear Marilyn,

Since I am not a succesful editor, I don't know what
would be "the right" thing to include in a biography.
However, I would like to tell people what I have gone
trough, my misadventures and hard-learned lessons. My
workflow might be interesting to some, and maybe
someone would like to know what I am trying to "say"
with my pictures. Of course, I'd also like to voice
some opinions (digital vs film anyone?) :)

If you are conducting "live" interviews (not written
questionaries), I'd suggest you open with a general
question (ie "Why do you photograh"?) and let them
talk as much as they want. Then jot down the questions
that arise in your mind along the answers (ie "You say
you have a personal motivation, yet part of your work
is clearly commercial - can you elaborate on that"?).
And one fine tip for the interviewer: do NOT offer or
hint the answer (ie "And now that you are
succesful..." or "It must have been hard to do
this...").

HTH
