GORE VIDAL- AN AMERICAN TREASURE

i have always admired GORE VIDAL, ever since his debates with william buckley that started in the late 60s, continuing for the rest of their lives. GORE VIDAL is unfortunately one of the few american intellects left.


i had the pleasure of meeting and photographing GORE VIDAL back in 2004,-what a dream come true- after the shoot, we sat in his impeccably decorated living room and he chatted with me one on one.. no cameras.. he said to me, "do realize that only one thousand people run this country? ..... one thousand people make all the decisions."
