November 2009: A slightly different version of Tupac Shakur, which was featured on the cover of RESPECT.’s Premiere Issue. He later explained the creation of the now-iconic photo (source):
“We did the shoot in my studio on Reade Street in 1993. At the time, I kept a book of Polaroids that were all signed by the people I had shot. Tupac had signed his: ‘If a photograph is worth a thousand words, then a photographer is worth a million.'”
Indeed. Happy birthday, ‘Pac.
