There’s a thing I read about Man Ray when I was a younger artist thinking I needed to be secretive or anonymous as a commercial photographer.  

It said that Man Ray was the highest paid commission photographer in New York for many years. That just blew the door of this neurotic little “artist” room I had made for myself.
