Harry's Game

“I have been taking pictures of Donald Trump since the early 1980s. He’s very good for our business, because you always get something out of it...
 
...I’m a Democrat, but you get better pictures with Republicans – they have more manners... I don’t find it hard working with people I disagree with politically; I’m not there to editorialize or flatter or debunk. It’s just a job; I’m not backing anybody...
 
...I’m 87 now, and proud of the fact I’m still working – I’ll always have my camera bag packed.
 
I’ve not been asked to photograph [Trump] at the White House. I don’t care if I never photograph him again, but if I’m invited, I’ll go. I’d shoot him stretched out on a couch under a painting of George Washington. I’d get him to take his shoes off, or even his trousers. It could happen.

These are strange times, and I’m not looking forward to them.”
