    That is so so hard. Oh God who would it be...... Michael Collins, de Valera, would be great to sit with someone who has so much enmergy and passion.

    But I would also love to sit with my great grandad who dies when I was young. I remember a man smoking pipes and I used to sit on his lap, I dont know what he looked like I just remember the smell. Always thought it was my grandad I had been thinking of until I was told otherwise so I guess I'd like to see him, just to put a face to the memory.

    Johnny Cash. Any stage of his life.

    A 4x5 press camera with polaroid back, a large window, a silver reflector, and a single strobe. And the essential Type 55.
