Mr. Walker sent his resume unsolicited to every council member.

The whole process was done very wrong, very unfairly.

I don?t think Mr. Lehr is the man for the job. He was never interviewed by city council. He was given the job with zero experience.

Persistent people begin their success where others end in failure.

A lot of my friends were mostly working in black-and-white - people like Lee Friedlander, Diane Arbus, Garry Winogrand, and others. We would exchange prints with each other, and they were always very supportive of what I was doing.

Black-and-white photography, which I was doing in the very early days, was essentially called art photography and usually consisted of landscapes by people like Ansel Adams and Edward Weston. But photographs by people like Adams didn't interest me.
