“There were just moments of the punk scene and I realized that I had to capture it. There was also this photographer in our preschool - I went to a Montessori school in Baltimore, Maryland - and they had this photographer come and take all these incredible photographs. They looked like they were from Life magazine.” MomentsSchoolScenePhotographerIncrediblesPhotographI RealizedMagazinesCapturePunkBaltimoreMontessoriPreschoolMaryland Author:Jeff Vespa
“I never went to school for that. In high school we had photography, which was great. That was another moment of discovery. I had a great teacher - I can't even remember her name now. I ended up going to boarding school for my last high school years and they had a dark room there. Of course there was curfew; you were supposed to be in bed at a certain time. But I would sneak out and sneak into the dark room and work all night.” YearsI CanMomentsSchoolLastsRememberNightCertainCoursesNamesDarkRoomsTeacherBedPhotographyHigh SchoolDiscoverySupposed To BeAll NightGreat TeacherSneakDark RoomCurfewSchool Years Author:Jeff Vespa
“I always wanted to live in L.A. The other thing that always inspired me was movies; that's why I'm here. I always wanted to be a part of the movie business and make movies. That's why I went to AFI grad school for filmmaking.” WantedSchoolInspiredFilmmakingMovie BusinessGradGrad School Author:Jeff Vespa
