“I try not to take credit for photos I didn’t take. I’ll certainly take credit for printing a found negative, because I’m making choices about how to print the negative, and I feel that’s fair, but I’ll credit it to ‘unknown photographer’ or ‘found negative.’” Throughout the conversation he re- turns to the importance of making art public, and says, “I like to think that some of the original photographers, especially the photojournalists, would be proud to have their photos hanging in a gallery.”
