Wegman World: June 2013

WW in Spot Magazine

Check out the current issue of the Houston Center for Photography's Spot Magazine for an interview with WW. This question was one of our favorites:

JL: What was the first photograph you ever saw?

WW: That one's locked in the past. I grew up during WWII -- my father was a POW actually. I didn't see him until 1945 after he was liberated... So it was probably a family picture of my father in the Air Force. I remember seeing one picture that I'm still pretty attached to, of my father reading to me and my two really pretty cousins when I was around five or four -- it's a classic staged photograph. We weren't from a family who had cameras, so we'd have to arrange for pictures. Some families in the 40s and 50s grew up with cameras. We weren't one of them.
