I had dinner with an amazing artist tonight and quite the character- Joel Peter Witkin. What I found most interesting about him is just how hard he works to create his imagery and his absolute dedication to his craft. Of course the imagery itself is both beautiful and grotesque (another reason why I am a fan), but his life stories also drew me in. He is a a storyteller, how could he not be? He told one after the next after the next...I was mesmerized and a little star struck.
