There's no better friend to any merchant than a fair competitor.
The man at Kodak told me the shots were very good and if I kept it up, they would give me an exhibition. Later, Kodak gave me my first exhibition.
My parents didn't agree with what was going on, you know, with the communists coming in, Fidel Castro. I didn't see the reason why I needed to go back there and be a part of that exhibition.
And I've just done an exhibition of paintings of mine - one hundred paintings down in San Antonio for some friends of my wife, Lulu and Aaron Tucker.
I wish I could compete again, but my good feeling is, these competitions are better as exhibitions.
