A portrait of the photographer Louis Mendes (1940) I made in 2012. Louis Mendes is probably the last photographer in the world that earns a living shooting portraits with the legendary 4x5 inch Crown Graphic. He takes portraits of all kinds of people on the streets in New York and New Orleans. His vintage camera makes that he stands out from the crowd. People with digital cameras are humbled by the sheer size of the Crown Graphic. When I asked him if I could take his portrait, he reminded me of the constraint he regards: “You’ve got one shot.” In the analogue world, working with a Crown Graphic loaded with instant film, that is the only thing that makes economic sense. You have to do it with one shot. So I took one picture of him and likewise he made one picture of me and my wife.
