Great interview! I loved your questions. Did you get that sense of Aura from her, too, I wonder… ?

Thanks. She took a couple of portraits of people with my phone and it was amazing to see her at work - the combination of eye and personality. Easy to see how people would warm to her. Definite aura!

Thank you, it was edited down from about 12,000 words of us both rambling, but was very enjoyable.

Fascinating. I'm sure I've seen the Nelson Mandela photo before but it's always good to get some 'inside track' on such a shoot and learn about the photographer and their motivations.

He is a good subject it seems (I did a search for Mandela in New York Times) but this is an especially good one.
