“This is perhaps why I’ve really begun leaning toward photographing the people, places, and things that hold lasting personal value to me. I used to think this was something reserved for amateur photography and photo albums, but now perhaps it needs to be reinstated in a fine art context in today’s image-based world where meaningless images are omnipresent. I mean any advertisement created by a nameless photographer of a model casting a blank stare away from the camera just tells the viewer “I don’t care,” and I think just saying, “This is what I care about, and you have things you care about,” is now a very interesting concept to me.”

“Well, lo and behold, several decades later, his by-now extensive collection of between-the-cracks stuff constitutes a major collection. What he once called “junk” is now called “vernacular photography,” and the collection as a whole recently appraised for—hold on to your hat—$4.3 million! What started out as a labor of love and enthusiasm turned into a pretty nice retirement plan. (Note: if you’re young now, someday you’ll be hearing the same thing about collections of prints from the early digital era—now, that would be—even prints not by “name” photographers. Mark my words.)”
