Interview ~ Day Project (Day #4 – second submission)

Interviewer – First, I should thank you for taking the time to do this interview.

MH~ Sure slick, my life is an open book so shoot!

Interviewer – Okay, well first, can you state your name for the record?

MH~ Marques Haven.

Interviewer – Has that always been your name?

MH~ Next question.

Interviewer – I thought you said your life was an open book?

MH~ I did.

Interviewer – Then why won’t you answer the question?

MH~ My life is an open book, whether or not you can read what’s on the page is completely up to you.

Interviewer – Okay , well I guess I should just move on to the next question.

MH~ Like I said slick… shoot!

Interviewer – Not to get off topic but I have to tell you – everyone says that you and I look so much alike. Do you agree?

MH~ I think the more correct statement would be you look more like me – not vice versa. But sure slick, you favor me a bit.

Interviewer – How do you feel about love?

MH~ I feel it exists.

Interviewer – That’s not a feeling, that’s more a statement.

MH~ No one can accuse you of being slow… keep it moving slick!

Interviewer – Okay, why photography?

MH~ Why not?

Interviewer – Are you going to answer the question?

MH~ I just did.

Interviewer – If you were going to give someone advice about being a photographer what would you say?

MH~ The picture behind you is probably a lot better than the one in front of you.

I think the more correct statement would be you look more like me – not vice versa. But sure slick, you favor me a bit.

Interviewer – What moves you?

MH~ Cars, trains, planes and occasionally a strong northerly wind.

Interview – That’s it? Let me restate the question – who moves you?

MH~ Those I pray about.

Interviewer – And who would they be?

MH~ I just told you… next question slick; it’s cold out here.

Interviewer – What photographers do you admire?

MH~ Bob Carlos Clarke.

Interviewer – Why him?

MH ~ Because he was tortured and it came out in his work. The man was genius behind a lens.

Interviewer – Anyone else?

MH~ Sure, Margarete Almeida, Rafa Olivares, and Charlotte Lucca… just to name a few. But there are so many photographers whose work I admire, I would be out here all day naming them all and it’s too fucking cold for that. I will just say I am humbled by their work.

Interviewer – You cursed, do you typically use bad language?

MH~ Only when I am fucking annoyed!

Interviewer – Okay, well I don’t want to take too much of your time.

MH~ You already have.

Interviewer – Last question, what’s next for you?

MH~ I don’t understand the question.

Interviewer – I mean, what’s the next phase in your life… your hitting the big 4-0 soon. Where do you see yourself a year from now?

MH~ Not here with you.

Interviewer – No really, please answer the question.

MH~ This interview is over!

Interviewer – Just like that! But I have more questions.

MH~ Like I said before, no one can accuse you of being slow… see’ya slick!
