They look like companion images.

I don’t normally do many workshops. The one I’m doing in Italy is mostly an excuse to hang out at Alex Majoli’s place.

Cheers, Mark

Gagosian and Weinstein don’t care about this at all. Why do you?

In the past I’ve had similar advice not to do editorial photography and not to have a blog. But I’m happy with my career. I have a good relationship with galleries, but that doesn’t mean I want to have all of my eggs in the art basket.

Do Weinstein or Gagosian make money anymore from having you in their stable of artists? Sure, you’re well known and somewhat influential, but much of that freedom was earned because you made money from them for selling your large scale photographic work. I don’t think you should take that for granted. These little books and projects and alter egos are fun and all, but the well will dry up eventually.

But we have been playing with the idea of Little Brown Mushroom workshop in Minnesota next summer. Stay tuned…

I’d be interested in one in new england or new york.
