"Q Magazine called me and asked me if I would like to go to San Francisco and photograph John Lee Hooker. I immediately said yes. I went to San Francisco and had a great time photographing him. I went in and looked at that face and thought every wrinkle on his face told a different story. And all you really have to do is look into that face."

"And that's why I decided to take this really sharp portrait photo. In my opinion, you didn't have to see anything else. Except for that face and the look in those eyes." - NEAL
