Peter Schickele photos


I have had the pleasure of photographing Peter Schickele nearly every year since 1976. Most of the time he comes with ideas pretty thoroughly worked out, and I just make them into good photos, but sometimes he has just a sketch of an idea, and we work together to flesh it out (although the fleshiest one, Ears Wide Shut, was all his planning). And just once, he had no idea whatever for a two piano concerto, and I thought of the pianists duelling with pistols.
