I've never met Crash Taylor, but I've been looking forward to interviewing him because of this endearing habit he has of poking his head above the parapet and getting shot at. As in this post, for example, which I published because he was nice enough to call Queensberry "the Tiffany of wedding albums". I didn't mean to buy into a storm, but I did anyway – as you can see from the post comments. You can read the full brouhaha on DWF if you're keen. For the record, I think it's hard to argue with "cheap publicity" (is there any other kind?) and when I spoke to him Crash came across as an energetic, engaging guy with interesting ideas. Not having heard him speak, I thought he was a Brit, but he's actually from LA. I talked with him about LA and Nottingham; hard work; controversy and criticism; creating that ‘wow’ factor; getting booked; Lightroom vs Photoshop; story telling; being aware; albums and album design; workshops; realistic expectations; personal projects and work/life balance. I asked him about his workshops too. Crash operates on the one website per subject principle, but you can get to his studio work, blog and workshops through crashtaylor.com or his Facebook page. His photographer interviews are definitely worth checking out. Enjoy! Cheers, Ian
