Collecting Photographers: Jay Maisel
Saturday, August 10, 2013
My
assistant and I were racing, doing almost 80mph on two lane roads.
Driving directly north. Risking life and limb. Obviously we were in a
hurry.
I
had been teaching commercial photography at the MAINE PHOTOGRAPHIC WORKSHOP all week but I got a special assignment back in Boston that I
could not pass up. My assistant and I drove down late the night before
the job and were well rested for the early morning shoot. The only
problem was I was supposed to present at the weekly "all-campus" lecture
that same night. We finished the shoot a little late and set out on the
long journey back to Rockport, Maine. Traffic was terrible. We crept
along behind vacationing tourists, slow moving RVs and an inadequate
highway system.
