I have caught my share of fish. I was a very competitive fisherman. And yes, it was great fun.

You are a good friend of Arash and he is, unquestionably, an amazing photographer and that is why we read what he has to say. There are a ton of us, originally from Brooklyn, like you, that were pretty smart when we were kids. There was no Department of Education and no NEA yet we all became well educated. Some of us were brilliant. And some of those, like Fauci, never got over themselves. Most of us have become tempered and very tolerant of others struggling to become good at what we try to do. And I’m not just speaking about photography. To me bird photography is like fishing. I fish . . . not because I regard fishing as being so terribly important but because I suspect that so many other concerns of men are equally unimportant–and not nearly so much fun.
