I’d say keep fighting. But that’s easy for me to say.
Perhaps if you go through with radiation and then do the mRNA treatment, you can pull off a miracle?

You're not bright enough to figure out how the kid of an early Kodak man had an easy path? Cute. You're not, but your beliefs are.

> I currently shoot with a medium format digital camera. It's Hasselblad H4X body with a Phase P-65 back.
I had a studio back in the film days; and did my work with a Hasselblad 503, favorite lens the 150/f4.
Don't know your age, but were you shooting back in the film days.?
If yes, I am curious how you compare film Blads to digital blads.
I no longer shoot commercially but dabble for fun with a Nikon D700 (great sensor for flesh). Prefer it over D850.

If you have an assistant, what do you expect of them?

The effect you pulled on the Trump picture with the mirrors looks astonishing, how hard was to align that?
Which leads to a second question, as you deal with very high profile clients, how hard is it to fit the time you need for your photo shoots within their tight time schedule?

I once heard a story that you used film for one shoot just because you didn’t want the subject pressuring you to delete shots or just pay too much attention to the techs station. Is there any truth to that story or was someone just pulling my leg?

Have there been times when your subject was reluctant to participate in your unusual idea for the photo shoot? How did you persuade the reluctant subject?

Thank you for doing this AMA, such a privilege for us to have "casual" access to someone with your talent and experience! Is there a camera you'd recommend that delivers great photos, but has the advantage of being "easy to whip off" in everyday life? I'm thinking compact, fast etc.

Hey! Your photos of Chris Farley are my favorite pictures of him. How was that photoshoot? Also I'd like to ask if prints are available and how much they usually cost? Thanks

What will you never shoot? (You're going to say "weddings”)

Have you embraced digital, and do you miss the ubiquity of film? My gf is a fashion stylist and sometimes does her own shoots; she did some with both digital and film and last year; that's when I learned something: I didn't know that film actually has a "human touch" to the way the photo gets developed, that is not easily replicable (maybe, impossible even?) with digital SLRs and the like. She showed me digital finals, and film finals. Always, the film looks much better. I always thought DSLRS made film completely obsolete.
What's your whole take on it?

If I don't have a lot of skills or flash equipment, what should I do to make a somewhat decent portrait?

Mann, da hast du ja echt die A-Karte gezogen. Was wünschst du dir für die Zeit, die dir noch bleibt? Was möchtest du gerne noch machen oder erleben?
Machst du dir Gedanken darüber, warum es dich erwischt hat, also ob du irgendwo verstrahlt wurdest oder Umweltgifte abbekommen hast? Oder nimmst du es, wie es ist, und versuchst dir noch das restliche Leben schön zu machen?
