It was a series of B&W photos of artist's mannequins with swords attached. I made the swords out of self-hardening plastic. You shot about 40 of them for me, which I probably still have in storage. That was around the spring of 1987. It was a paid job, as I had a stipend while at UCSC, and I also worked as a TA, which paid pretty well back then as UCSC grad students actually had a union which was associated with the Teamsters. You had a some extra, so you shot a portrait of me holding a lava light in your room. I still have that somewhere too. It's one of my favorite portraits of me from that time period. Not that I've had a lot of portraits done of me over my life, but there was one of me that won some awards. Seriously. I was in fencing garb, no less.
As Greg so astutely puts it, it is all about me.
