Good - glad someone has found the time to do this: ZZ is the most consistently interesting presence here. When I have time, I mean to read the interview too :-)
That has to be one of the most eloquent interviews I've read thus far. ZeusZen, in my eyes anyways, has such an ethereal presence here. And most of the time, I have to break out the thesaurus to decipher his posts but that's what keeps this place from becoming stale. :-) It's nice to get a little glimpse into his mind and life. Thank you, Robert, for the new interview. I've missed these greatly.
Just a couple of corrections need to be made to the interview...
In one question it says: "I'd hesitate to day you do mostly B/W photography" change 'day' to 'say'
Down at the bottom, where you ask, "Are you planning any photo trips in the future? If so, where?" The answer doesn't match with the question, I think that his answer at that place continue the thought in the previous question. While the answer to the next question goes with that one, and no answer is given to the question: "How many prints do you sell..."
That was a great read. I think a couple of answers are misplaced though; I've quoted them below.

How many prints do you sell on DPC Prints in a month, on average? What's your best selling image?
Haida Gwai (the Queen Charlotte Islands, BC) would be one place I'd like to photograph and explore, Havana, Cuba another. The islands are awkward to reach, Cuba involves crossing the continent... It seems more likely I'll end up in more usual stomping grounds: Pacific Rim National Park or on some range of the coastal mountains, where the air is good and the water tastes like stone.

I have always liked Zeus and his work..
I did notice after looking at his profile again that his Avg Vote Cast is pretty low..
3.4
Give a 5 once in awhile, geez..

Good Interview..
I'd noticed that 3.4 thing too and it inspired me to raise my vote average. I was at 4.9-5.0 in my early going but realized that I don't hate everything that much. I'm now on a 4-10 scale.
probably the most inspiring interview I have read here. zeuszen, I have long been a fan of your images, but your writing blew me away. I wish I could express myself as eloquently as you do, but since I cannot, I will satisfy myself with taking your words and saying to people, in my own hamfisted clumsiness, "see what this guy says... that's how I feel!"
Thank you for such an interesting peek into your creative process and world outlook. I enjoyed it very much!
Thanks Bear music for interviewing, ZZ he has been part of my life for the last few years, he encourages me artistically, he is much better at post processing, he is a calm and reassuring and supportive counterpart. Anyway, if you think he is eloquent here, you should hear his poetry, as good as he is at photography his poetry is about 100x better.
( i could not let his interview come and go without saying something, he worked on it for days: ) )
You're welcome, Ella and everyone else. The comment about the poetry is interesting, as of course I'm a poet as well, and an editor-of-poetry also. We seem to have a few things in common, we do...
