I propose the bickering be dropped. How about taking another tack: I'll ask you questions so I can learn interesting things I didn't know before.
1. What are some good places to eat in New York? Particularly if one is on a budget?
2. What interests you about Diane Arbus? About portraiture? About photojournalism? About photography more generally?
3. Art, huh, what's it good for?
4. Do you produce art of some kind yourself and if so what kind and why that kind rather than some other kind?
5. If you were going to open a gallery, what would you want it to be like in terms of the space, in terms of the kind of work you'd show, in terms of other events/ public programs you might have?
