“Are enormous, and maybe the galleries are more kind of pop art galleries than galleries with the provenance of some of the ones in Upper East Side. So you're two lead cities in a way for, and I don't think I'd be the only person to say this, do present challenges, whereas Dallas and Chicago are fantastic. They're not quite as invitation rich with the greatest respect to my friends in both Chicago and Dallas. They're slightly more genuine. Friendships maybe have more substance. They want to introduce you to more people. And the gallery competition maybe isn't quite so stiff. And both economies present circumstances excluded are strong. So there's a big gap for us. Between Dallas, Chicago, and the next market we have in the States.”

“But the galleries are small there by definition because the rents are so high. And if you've got a gallery upper east side, they could probably only fit three or four of my pictures in there. Then you go down to Soho and West Broadway, where we've been before, and the rents in some of those places.”

“Beach or in the hills or around West Hollywood. And to the best of my knowledge, they're one hour apart. So locating a gallery, you immediately eliminate half of them. Also people in LA, a bit like Sam Fram, and you have experience of this, they're invitation rich, particularly in LA. They're time poor, they're friendship rich, and they really don't want to go to things. It's not a treat to go to an art gallery opening. They just think they'd rather avoid it. They'd rather take the dog to the vet than go to an art gallery. And this is one or the therapist. Whereas you go to, and in New York, it's similar in a way in that my work's quite large. And Peter Beard had a similar issue. And if you've got in New York, you can go to the kind of wasp.”

“In Dallas, how did it start, which Dallas itself or the idea? So wearing my old hat. I'm the geek at school that knows all the detail on the baseball cards. But if you substitute baseball cards for American cities, I think I'd do too badly telling you you name an American city. We'll tell you what the art market's like in growth second cities, Nashville, Charlotte, Austin, the Carolinas. How strong are these markets? Where are the big markets? And there are some tough markets in America that I think the two toughest markets that people assume are slam dunks are bizarre. Let's forget about everything that's going on at the moment. But Los Angeles is a tough market and New York is a tough market. Los Angeles is a tough market because the wealth tends to live in two different places, either on the”

And I thought, well, we're going to have the cheerleaders. And then we get a bunch of Longhorn cattle and some cowboys. And we did it. We closed down the city center.”

“I think Texans, as you know, there is a great sense of hospitality there. People want to help. You then get into this extraordinary contradiction between conservationists and hunters. You go back in the history of America, so many of your great men were hunters and conservationists, Roosevelt et al. In Texas, there are an awful lot of these safari clubs and whatever the hunters. And then they go on safaris to Africa. And I'm a conservationist that I don't really want to get aggressively into the debate as to whether you should spend your weekend shooting duct. But I certainly am someone that can't really be seen to be shitting ducks at the weekend. I think that would open the doors to a degree of double standards. But there are big walls, big homes. The area is like the Highland Parks of this world. There's a great clan base there. And we've got to know, we shot recently with the Dallas Cowboys.”

“No, for me personally. Seven years ago, I didn't know anyone in Dallas. But in order to get to that position, you need a gallery. And then you just build up contacts. And Dallas, I go to Dallas now more than they go to New York or LA. And he even culminated, I couldn't quite, my family and friends certainly. I even had the pleasure of having lunch at SMU with George W. And that was a great thrill. And that all just came from Texan hospitality and just getting to know people. But with the gallery at the epicenter of that, with the gallery to talk about me.”

“Wholesale means using galleries because if you're a photographer and you want to sell your work, you've got really two options in the fine art market. Number one is you can go to the best galleries in the world that one week might be selling picasos or warholes or baskets or whatever and say or photographic galleries and say here's my work and they'll take 50%. They will take 50% of the sale. That's standard. And Nick embraced that model to the full. Partly because he didn't to go and be selling it yourself all around the world is a lot of work and you could have got the content. It's not like original content providers like Netflix. You've not got the guy that's making the latest episode of the crown the next week trugging. Around Berlin trying to flog it.”

“He got there before me. We don't know each other, but I have total respect for him. And I know printers that he's used to use. I've known a lot of galleries who know us both. And he gives an awful lot back to conservation. And he is not someone that likes socializing. And I respect that as well. which is why you need to use the wholesale marketplace for other people to extol the virtues of your work. We have an acronym in the UK, which I'm sure Tim, you have in America called Fig Jam. Do you have an acronym called?”

“Big Tusk elephants left in the world. They're the elephants that look half like an elephant and half like a mammoth from ice age where the tusks touch the ground. And they're only in two national parks. They're in a national park called Ambicelli and a national park called Savo where Peter Beard, who I'm sure you know, Peter Beard's work, he's from the Andean Warhol School and a great storyteller of a photographer. He spent a lot of time in Sava. Nick spent a lot of time in this place called Ambicelli. And he photographed him black and white. And I always have photographed, tended to photograph in black and white. We can maybe come on to that later. And his work was shot on film, not digital, but he was achieving very high prices for his work. And I admired it, and I still do.”

“Doing the filming of a Michael Jackson video that happened to be shot in the Serengeti in Tanzania? Was it called Earth Song? I can't remember the Michael Jackson. I think it might have been called that. And he fell in love with the plains of Serengeti. He was a creative guy. And he decided to spend more and more time in East Africa filming. And he focused on part of all the big elephants in the world are in Kenya. If you want to go and photograph a big elephant, and I'm very much, I'm a romanticist, but I'm also a magnifier as well. If I want to go and photograph an ABBA tribute band, I'll do it in Stockholm. I will go to where it's at. So with elephants, the best place to photograph elephant, big elephants in the world is Kenya. There are about 22, what are the calls?”

“I remember that in the World Cup semi-final, I did the first 10 minutes of West Germany against, there was still called West Germany, West Germany against France. And my camera broke. Ten minutes into the World Cup semi-final. And the Italian photographer next to me, he could see I was having problems. And he said, my friend, accept it. He said it in Italian. Here is my camera. He just gave me his camera. And he had no right to do that. And that's what photography, I think, is like. The two photographers that I mentioned in that piece were both Live, I think, in America, one's Australian and one's actually British. The first one is a guy called Nick Brandt. And Nick first got involved in photography as a cinematographer. I think he was...”

“Yeah, absolutely. And the first thing I'd say about photography, and almost more than anything else that I will say in this interview with you, Tim, I so believe in this from the bottom of my heart, that photography is collegiate. I don't compete against other photographers. This is not a zero-sum game job. I think you've used that expression just because you're doing well, it doesn't mean that someone else should do badly and vice versa.”

“That was my biggest claim to home. But I used to sell pictures outside the tube station underground. For 20 bucks way back in the day in 1987, it was the great days when you had America had fantastic tennis players. I'm not saying you don't know. You have an amazing women's tennis players and Coco is quite something. But in the days on the men's side, you had Mackeler and Connors and Gary Litis. And it was just like one big party. I mean, you just want to go and party with those guys. But I would sell pictures for 20 bucks. So in Miami last year, I did say to people, we sold a picture for $200,000. And someone said, well, that's an awful lot. David, that's quite, I said, well, I could be accused of taking my time because that was 35 years after I was selling pictures for 20 quid outside. A subway station in London.”

“And the journey is just having a massive bump for everyone right now. But I've got so many things wrong in my life. But I got it right. And you write in your books, which I've read and some of the podcasts which I've listened to, you use a word, which is very important. You use the word self-propagating and the importance of self-propagation. And if you can get to a position where your brand is recognized and strong, so many good things come from that in a way that you don't actually have to, as long as you look after the brand, the position can reinforce itself. We're starting selling pictures for $5,000, $5,000 seems an awful lot for a photograph.”

“I didn't do it quite as glamorously as Tom Cruise, and it took more than an evening with the Tal around my neck. But I did a lot of homework. And the basic essence was that the future for me in photography was going to be to not just encroach arts law, ART's lawn with my photography, but for it to be an integral part of art, to be something that is quite clearly art full stop. And that was if you got that right and from there it was going to be a long old journey that there was a marketplace. And I look back now, yeah, it was 120 months ago probably, 12 10 years. I think the journey's not ended.”

“At an editorial level, selling pictures to Stern magazine or Parry Match or Sports Illustrated or The New York Times, the London Times printed picture, one of my pictures, half a page, London Times like the New York Times. I don't want anything for it. It's the best PR you can have in the world. So that was when the penny dropped the way to monetize it, if that's not a vulgar word, but the way to make a living was through fine art. And so I wrote this piece. It's my ode to Cameron Crow in a way because when Jerry McGuire did it in Jerry Maguire when Chris did it, you remember he wrote that misif and then he put it in everyone's cubbyhole and he said that sports management should look after fewer sports stars and give them more personal attention. I wrote my mission statement.”

“Anyway, so he said, how much do you want for the picture? And this is 11, 10, 11 years ago. And people weren't looking at photography as an area where you could for fine art. I said, well, maybe we'll put it in a nice frame and all. Maybe charge you. He said $10,000. So I obviously thought I'd gone way too high. So I said, well, listen, I'm sorry to think that's a lot. I said, we'll deliver it to Texas for free. We might even install it. He goes, no, I'm going to have three of them, shark. And that was when the penny dropped for me.

“I thought this is, I mean, I may as well go back to trying to do something else. I mean, what a stupid industry. And then I got a call from someone and I spent a lot of time in Texas, y'all. And the guy, that's a bad Texan accident. He said, he said, are you the kid that took the photograph of the shark? He says, because I'm an attorney. I'm called Jaws. And I won one of them picture on my wall because I want to be the fear of God and to anyone that litigates against me. And it went from Texas to Forrest Gump in about 10 seconds.”

“Lunch on my own, like the loser I am, with my camera. And the picture was, I think in the next week, around 100 magazines, newspapers in the world, all around the world. And I got my check about six months later because they're all playing the game in terms of the delay between them getting the income in and then being sent to you. And my check was around about, I don't know, around about $17,000. And I thought this has got to be the worst industry in the world because it must have cost me at least 25,000 to finally get that picture. So I've taken this picture and I've lost 8,000 dollars from taking this picture.”

“And was able to look at it in the cold light of day. And it was in focus. The shark attacking the seal, everything was in focus. And I got quite emotional. It was a bit like my story on the plane with Maradona, except I was at sea level, not 36,000 feet up. And I knew it was a big picture. So I sent it to the agency in London. I was on my own. I didn't really have. It was a Sunday morning. I didn't have anyone to celebrate with in a beautiful, ever you want a great restaurant and you happen to be in Cape Town in a place called Quak Bay. There's a fish restaurant over the railway line. I think it's called Harbor Lights. And because the South African Rand is under a lot of pressure, you can have the best seafood bottle of wine and get changed for 20 bucks.”

“Something is what we call in the trade, and I hope my accent doesn't make a mess of this, but out of whack, out of whack means out of focus. Either something is in focus, emphatically in focus, or it isn't. And there's no ambiguity. If it's 2% out, it's 2% out. And my sports photography days taught me that. I'm very, very tough on myself on focus. You're never going to.”

“And the two hours after sunrise, the general supposition is it's because the seal pups cannot see them coming to attack them and therefore this is their best time to predate. But no one knows the answer to that. Anyway, the final day I get the shot. And I remember my heart beating so quickly. You've then got a you've got about a 40 minute journey to come into a very modest little village near Cape Town called Simonstown, essentially where the South African Navy, I don't know why South Africa has a navy. They might need it for sort of hospital ships in the next two weeks, but I don't know why they need a navy. Anyway, the Navy is at Simonstown.

“Because I was still working, every trip is costing me like about 10,000 bucks because then I had the boat and then the hotels and it's their winter as well. So at the height of everyone in London going and getting blasted at Glastonbury or watching Wimbledon tennis or whatever or being on holiday in a B-Mickinos, I would be shivering my arse off in their winter on my own, trying to photograph a shark breaching out of the water. And I do think a lot of people worried about my sanity. Anyway, I wasn't going to quit. You cannot quit. You just got to continue. But equally, there are practical considerations. And the season would run from June till July. And the final possible journey out. And no one knows why Great Whites breach in the half-hour before sunrise.”

And I'd fly down to Cape Town from London on a Thursday night, arrive Friday morning too late to go on my vessel. And then on Saturday morning, Sunday morning, Monday morning, I would spend four hours from five in the morning till nine at sea in this place called Attack Channel trying to photograph the Great Whites, attacking a seal, coming out predating, flying out of the water to get the breaching.”

But in 2011, our worlds collide a little bit, albeit I wasn't 25, which I think still Jaws is still, I think, one of the top 20 grossing films of all time. But I got obsessed with great white sharks. And then the best place in the world to photograph great whites was in False Bay around the corner from Cape Town. It's not now for reasons that we can talk about later, maybe. If you're going to try and photograph Great Whites not swimming in the water, which is boring because it's been done before, I go back to my Calgary analogy of too many people.”

I was in Last American city I was in was New Orleans two weeks ago in a show there and that was about a week before the Marty, a week after the Mardi Gran. And obviously they're concerned about that city now. We're all fine. If I had to put my bet is as good or as bad as anyone else, how can it be better than anyone else? It's absolutely not. I fancy this is six months.”

“This to be the epicenter for it to be the epicenter because your country time and time again has found a way out of things and that can do mentality and ethos has never been more needed. It's also very good for entertainment factors because the one thing our family all do, I just loved it. I don't do politics, but your president's press conferences are a lot of fun because when he's asked a question, you wouldn't tolerate him on your show, Tim, because if he's asked a question, he will. He will take the subject matter and then give his personal experience of the subject matter. So yesterday when he's asked about when will insurance protection kick in for second tier restaurants, he then goes on some sort of Gettysburg address, except it's not...”

“The spread, you've got to kind of assume that whether you're in Nairobi or Dar es Salaam or Johannesburg or Lisaka, the whole population is going to have it, that you just got to work on that basis, the idea of human distancing and townships. I think you're mutually exclusive. So you worry about that America is in many ways the right country for”

“Couple of things that I'm concerned about, and Paul touched on one, Africa, I'm very concerned about. I spend a lot of time in East Africa. A lot of people turn around to me and say, David, you spend quite a bit of your year in Africa. You must love Africa. I turn around slightly dispersing. I say, I hate Africa. I said it's the most corrupt continent in the world for a start. It's four continents wrapped into one, whether it be the Arabic North, the all-rich west, colonial east or sub-Saharan Africa. And the one thing that unites those four subcontinents within the continent is they're all corrupt from top to bottom. That corruption and lack of infrastructure is going to be laid very bare in the next two or three months. You take some of the townships in Johannesburg. Goodness knows what's going to happen. I see them made a lockdown today, but you worry about...”

“So the first thing I'd say is that I am following it. I want to be an optimist. I want to get out and photograph. I want to go out and see people. I want to come back to America. I want to go to Africa.”

“I've got to be very, very careful that I don't become an instant expert in viruses because we've seen so many of those get airtime recently. The first thing I'd say without wanting to copy what Paul said is that we are at the end from a financial markets perspective. We're coming to the end of a first quarter and that always means that bizarre things happen. The fact that the DAO should have its biggest run since 1933 at the very time that New York is being considered the epicenter of this virus, if you're looking from another planet, you really would think that humans are quite mad. Those two things should happen simultaneously. And I'm sure the history books will look at what's happened over the last week. It's been a historic week following a historic week, and next week will be a historic week. And just for time.”

“Got to say, I promised to do my best, I promise to try and exercise maximum judgment, try not to panic if I'm going to panic, I'll panic early, and I'll show total integrity at all times. I don't think you can do more than that. But I think it's a tough, I have huge admiration for the people that do it well. Yesterday on your CMB show, one of your icons in hedge fund management, Paul Tudor Jones, spoke, and I listened, I wrote to him afterwards, I listened so you could hear a pin drop in my living room for half an hour and he was so precise, passionate when he needed to be passionate, dispassionate when he needed to be dispassionate, but all the time entirely considered. But he's the exception.”

“To it than that, but please. But by and large, one is quite an easy sell because you turn around to the guy that wants the picture of the elephant and say, that's always going to be an elephant. You're not going to wake up tomorrow morning and it's a giraffe. You're getting what you see. Whereas the whole concept of selling a product on the basis of future returns, you cannot guarantee I really struggled with. And I know I'm not alone, but the whole premise that And the words a salesman as well slightly gives an uncomfortable shiver down my spine because you shouldn't really be selling investment products is a very tricky compromise. It's a difficult thing to get right because you cannot make an aggressive sale because you cannot guarantee you've just”

“of Europe to hit its peak in America soon because clearly that is an exogenous variable that means that right now what ideas is not something that people want to hear an awful lot about but they'll always remember that time it told me a lot of humility I think if you're selling a product you you and your career have sold all sorts of things and a huge admiration for the polymath that you are I've only only sold two things I've sold hedge funds and pictures of elephants now by and large”
