Craig mentioned something about Annie Liebowitz and it got me thinking.
Who have you met and/or got a chance to talk to? And if they made an impression, good or bad. What was it?
I was shooting an event at the University of Detroit/Mercy and I got a chance to sit down and talk with Tony Spina. He was the chief photographer for the Detroit Free Press, and won a Pulitzer for his images of the race riots in the 60's. He had published I think 6 books. A number of the Pope's pictures people saw when he was in the U.S was his shots. Anyway, he was a really cool guy to talk to. He very much stressed education vs. learning on your own. Although I am not big on photojournalism, he really inspired me to go out and produce better work.
So let's hear your stories.
