This photograph is the first one created by 12-year-old Gregory Daniel. Now, decades later, ". . . every image I do today has a little piece of him."
Today, Gregory & Lesa Daniel are members of some of the world's most prestigious photographic societies. It started when Greg, a 12 year old kid, suffering an injury that forced him into a Photography class instead of sports.
"As part of the course, we had to develop a roll of film," he explains. That, by default, required SHOOTING a roll of film. Stay through the end of the conversation to hear Greg explain how the gentleman in the photo "breathed the life of Photography--into ME!"
Along the way, you'll hear how Greg & Lesa met. It's likely the world's most tired, overused, trite story: "The first time I saw her, I was working on the Space Shuttle . . . ."
[Literally. He was actually working on the Space Shuttle.]
You'll also hear how the art world has shaped Greg & Lesa's work--starting with the difference between an $80,000 artwork and one that's $4,000.
A few other quotable quotes from today's episode:
"The purpose of this [interview] has been to make you uncomfortable."
"Create a business that you love, and that you love to live in, and live through your business."
"Don't quit your day job."
