Frank Zito : How come all your models are women?
Anna D'Antoni : Well, it's just something I'm interested in, as a woman. In fact, this is my fourth series. It's called "Women Form". Not very original is it?
Frank Zito : Well, it's not the title that matters that much.
Anna D'Antoni : No, I guess not.
Frank Zito : Do you get to keep them all?
Anna D'Antoni : I'm hoping to sell them.
Frank Zito : I wouldn't. I'd keep them forever.
Anna D'Antoni : But why? Part of my profession is to sell photographs. It's not all for art's sake you know.
Frank Zito : I know, but why do you take pictures of women this way?
Anna D'Antoni : I like to make them look beautiful.
Frank Zito : No, I think it's to preserve them. You see, the beauty is already in the model.
Anna D'Antoni : Frank, don't be silly. Listen, I'm the photographer, right?
Frank Zito : Right.
Anna D'Antoni : So, I should know what I'm doing.
Frank Zito : I know, but to me things change. People die. But in a picture or painting, they're yours forever.
Anna D'Antoni : There's no way you can possess someone forever. Even in a photograph, there's no way.
