Shoot Info:
February 7, 1994
Piedmont Hotel, Chicago
Village Voice
Sometimes during a session I will consult a notebook with ideas written
down for the shoot. When I did this with Liz Phair she asked to see it. I
never really show it to subjects, I don't want them to know what I'm
thinking. Furthermore, if I'm moving towards getting them to do something
unconventional, I want to present the idea carefully.
In this situation though, I thought that making myself vulnerable might
work out to my advantage. So I gave her the book. She looked at it for a
couple of seconds, then handed it back. "Did you read the whole thing?",
I asked. "No, I just wanted to see if you would show it to me," she
replied.
