"I'm emotionally connected to the experience of working with a person, and the images come out of the experience. I never try and ‘make’ a photograph. We were having an inner experience. This photograph is the electromagnetic rendition of what was going on, but there's that slight Mona Lisa quality to that little knowing smile and there is a look in his eye like he is envisioning how what he has on his lap is going to impact the future. You can't legislate moments like that, or when he's sitting on the floor and he's got that impish look and he's got that beer next to him. It's because he's having an emotional experience and the emotional experience becomes body language. All of those energies of that emotional state are actually in that picture. So it becomes indefinable, it is not just a picture." --Norman Seeff - Adriano
