Eighteen years ago(EGADS), I photographed my first serious photo essay, telling a story for a philanthropic arm of the Television Academy. I was nervous as hell, in a cold sweat delivering my first round of contact sheets. I wasn’t happy with what I had and I don’t think my client was either. But, she was kind. She said, “I know you can do this, Colleen.” In my car, I opened the returned sheets and there was only one note that read, “Don’t be afraid to get closer.” That note changed everything, solved everything. Solves everything, when I remember. People, product, landscape, architecture, in the studio, in an office, at home, in my work, in my life, in eighteen years, this is the best note I’ve ever had.
