Inspiration: In Character.

The column, In Character, in Vanity Fair every month is one of my favorites (next to the back page questionnaire, of course).  It's written, directed and photographed by Howard Schatz.  He also has a book that's the same sort of thing. When I shoot, sometimes I'm an observer along for a journey. Sometimes it's a dance the subject(s) and I take (and make) together. And sometimes I'm a director -- also on a journey -- but trying to evoke something unique and special. This column is always a big dose of inspiration for me.  Check it out here.
