Albert WatsonGUEST
I, at that time, the eighties, I changed because I was interested in things that had weight.

Albert WatsonGUEST
And that began to have a conflict sometimes with editors who preferred a lighter approach.

Albert WatsonGUEST
You know, more of an approach where it's the beauty of the woman and a nice portrait of the woman and kind of straight forward shooting of the women in front of you.

[laughs]

Albert WatsonGUEST
You know, and I was like, "No, not quite." I said, uh, I, I said, "I booked her for an hour, so you only have to pay for her for an hour, but I, I talked her into staying all day." Now, I, I think that impressed him as much as anything [laughs] in a way, that I had talked the model into staying, you know, to do the pictures.

Albert WatsonGUEST
So anyway, he took a long time looking at the pictures, and I was just standing there.

Albert WatsonGUEST
And he grabbed, like, four or five rolls of film, different shots, and he said, uh, uh, "I'll be right back." Well, he was away for quite a long time.
