I recall working as an assistant to a number of professional photographers at once a few that had worked assisting Yousuf Karsh, one who worked for Time/Life - another for House Beautiful and one who was very skilled in liquor commercials and I was starting out my career in fashion and after I had my first ad published in Vogue Magazine I called up a well known Photographer named Irving Penn who had done editorial work as well as ads in Vogue (some in the same issue I was in) and I asked him how to get work

and he (Penn) told me very directly that he was having enough trouble getting work himself - so that meant he had absolutely no advice to give me

later I asked my friend Marcos Grigorian - a famous artist who work is in MOMA and in the Rockefeller Collection and he happily told me to do as much work as I can while I was still young and able
