WINDBLOWN JACKIE

"El punto culminante de mi carrera fue disparar lo que yo llamo mi Mona Lisa, la foto Windblown Jackie: Jackie O en Madison Avenue, en octubre de 1971, despeinada por el viento. Después de tomar esa foto, ella me preguntó: '¿Te siente bien contigo mismo?'. A lo que respondí: 'Sí, gracias'."

MCQUEEN PHOTOGRAPHED BY GALELLA, 1973

"As far as I’m concerned, paparazzi photography, as I know it, is over. The three big icons are gone: Jackie Onassis, Princess Diana and Liz Taylor. They were the heavyweights. They were the magnets that drew swarming paparazzi, including myself. Today we have featherweights: Britney, Lindsay, Paris and Nicole. They receive more publicity than the icons of yesterday; a sad reflection on our culture. Today, the paparazzi are gangbangers."
