“Sometimes things cannot be expressed in words—that’s what is so expressive, emotional, or revealing about a photograph. Just look and enjoy it. It reveals that exact fleeting moment in time—that’s all. When I lose my breath a bit, I know that’s the picture.”
—Richard Phibbs
Do you remember when Madonna's SEX came out? What a sensation. At the local bookstore in Laguna people (maybe even me) paid $1 a minute to look through it.... Point being, click on the link for the book and you'll see why I thought of it.—Richard Phibbs
Hate to say it but if you took a cocktail shaker and mixed photography by Helmet Newton, Robert Mapplethorpe and Ralph Lauren you would get Richard Phibb -perhaps because RP is responsible for some of those RL ads (along with Giorgio Armani).
Richard Phibb found photography by use of therapy to cope with the losses of friends from HIV/AIDS. How can't you like that? His book Chasing Beauty will be on sale next month and all proceeds will be donated to charities such as the Humane Society of New York, Bali Dog Refuge and Children of Nowhere (funds medication to Romanian children with HIV/AIDS.
