An Interview with Joe Buissink by Rachel LaCour Niesen Atlanta photographers- hear more of Joe’s story tomorrow, July 13th, at the Atlanta PUG Meeting! Then, come back on Thursday for Pictage & ShootQ Business Bootcamp! “I believe that one defines oneself by reinvention. To not be like your parents. To not be like your friends. To be yourself. To cut yourself out of stone.” – Henry Rollins This is one of my favorite quotes by an artist I admire. He’s characteristically irreverent and unconcerned about pissing people off. In fact, he implies that we must define ourselves by reinvention. The last statement is particularly poignant: “To cut yourself out of stone.” Notice he didn’t say “sculpt.” He said “cut.” Did you hear that? CUT. Reinvention is a painful process.
