Interesting interview with David Bailey

[radar]

Hi,

for an interesting interview with photographer David Bailey, see the SMH here.

David Bailey's website is here.

A quote I liked from the article

AGD: Which baffles me, because I think photography is an art -

DB: So do I. Well, it's not an art. There's that cliche that my old mate Duffy used to use: photography and painting aren't art. It depends on whether the person doing it is an artist.

About 12 years ago I was in Scotland for work and as I wandered down a street in Edinburgh, I asked a man to take my photo, as I was alone. He asked me 'Do you know who I am?' (in a tone that suggested I should know!!) turns out the man was David Bailey.. so I now have a David Bailey portrait at home!! Wasn't too happy though.... it was crooked!
Cheers

he probably was dissapointed that you didn't know him!

Surenj, he was!! He was very nice but went to great lengths to explain who he was and which famous people he had taken photos of!

Hilarious! At least he didn't charge you for it

Maybe you should post him that photo (with the crooked horizon) to remind him that he deliberately took a poor shot of a tourist.
