He wasn‘t much of a writer, knew little about politics, spoke 1 bad restaurant-French, lacked all training and qualifications, possessed 2 only a passport and a vivid image of himself smoking beneath a ceiling fan in tropical countries, a battered 3 Nikon and a bottle of whisky by his bedside.
Of course what he really wanted was to be a photographer. At sixteen he had completed a photo-project called "Texture‘, full of black and white close-ups of tree bark and sea-shells which had apparently "blown‘ his art teacher‘s mind. Nothing that he had done since had given him as much satisfaction as "Texture‘ and those high-contrast prints of frost on windows and the gravel in the driveway. Journalism would mean grappling with difficult stuff like words and ideas, but he thought he might have the makings of a decent photographer, if only because he felt he had a strong sense of when things looked right. At this stage in his life, his main criterion for choosing a career was that it should sound good in a bar, shouted into a girl‘s ear, and there was no denying that "I‘m a professional photographer‘ was a fine sentence, almost up there with "I report from war zones‘ or "actually, I make documentaries.‘
