En esto me convierto: en un suspiro. Sube la sangre al techo y las luces se encienden. Se avecina una noche. Y aquí ya no conocíamos la noche. Aquí solo se hablaba de soles y planetas incendiados. Y de repente todo se apaga con la rapidez de una ola extraviada. En esto me convierto ahora:...

PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN

I did three sittings with Philip Seymour Hoffman but it’s the time that I had a random lunch with him three years after working together that I find myself thinking about.

Running errands on a spring Saturday I popped into a hot dog joint on Lafayette, just south of Bleecker. A minute after I placed my order at the corner Philip came in. The place was almost empty, so I went up and said hello. He recognized me right away and was friendly, if low-key.

We sat down and ate. He had a cheeseburger and I had two hot dogs wrapped in bacon with hot sauce.

During our conversation I congratulated him on his Best Actor Oscar for “Capote”, which he had received only days before. I told him that he can’t now go off and do stupid big-budget action movies (a common misstep by past winners). He chewed his sandwich for a couple of seconds and then told me that his next picture was “Mission Impossible III”.

He was fun to photograph, and he brought real joy to his performances. He’ll be missed.

Top Two Images: Philip Seymour Hoffman photographed for Premiere in 1999. I was told later that it was one of his favorite sessions.

Third and Fourth Images: Philip Seymour Hoffman and John C. Reilly, photographed for Time Out New York in 2001. I don’t remember even speaking with them - it was so fast moving I was trying to get it all on film.

Bottom Image: Philip Seymour Hoffman photographed at Sundance Film Festival for Entertainment Weekly in 2003.

I wish that I could rise above it but I stay down, with my demons.
