Eisie's office on the 28th floor of the Time-Life Building in New York
city is next to his closest friend, Carl Mydans. Carl did photograph blood
and war and the homeless. He also managed to eke out a career, anyway.
Don't any of you realize, there is room out in the world for all types
of photography and photographers.
No one is right or wrong.
Lastly, a bit of humor from the late Bob Schwalberg.....
Q: In what essential respect are painters different from photographers?
A: Painters are capable of conduction long conversations without
discussing brushes...
