A short conversation with Magnum (and large format) photographer Alec Soth. Interesting:

I bumped into him a couple years ago as he was starting the Niagara project. I was driving down the road and saw this guy set up with an 8x10 and stopped to chat. He mentioned his name, but it meant nothing to me at the time and I promptly forgot it -- only remembered him saying he'd done a similar project down in Mississippi. Now that I know who I was talking to, I regret not making the most of the conversation. Idiot.

His stuff is great.
