It was a real pleasure to finally meet him at the LHSA spring shoot in Victoria. A few of my favourites: "That's not bokeh, that's my kids!" "You could argue the guy was in the way and was preventing you from exorcizing your freedom of expression and or the press so you had to gun him down to get the proper line of site but they just wouldn't probably listen." And my all time favourite: "Once i was sitting in a just opened hip restaurant eating an omelette in the morning. On the wall over my table was a mezzo print of a forklift with interesting brown stains all over it. It looked pretty familiar. I had taken it. They got it out of my garbage can. One of the busboys was they guy who did it and freely admitted it. I think at the time i was flattered and I'm still flattered. As the print was RC and not fixed or washed it is certainly gone now. It was good for eating omelettes. The restaurant is gone now too. Portland Oregon has been leveled. It's all new high rises now. All my favorite places are gone."
