Mike and Doug Starn

Tricia sent me an article last week about the Starn brothers. They had an art piece installed near one of the storm areas in New York. I had not thought of them in a while. When I was first starting out, I photographed them for a story in Rolling Stone, in about 1987. I remember being so starstruck and nervous before the job. Obviously, they’ve now moved into “art heavyweights” as they’ve matured. There is so much strong work on their site, but the crowning piece, to me, is the bamboo work at The Met.
