¿Quién es usted y qué hace?

I’m David Brandon Geeting and I’ll make something out of whatever you got.

¿Qué tiene siempre a mano?

I’ve gotten really attached to wearing a hat every day and at this point I feel empty without it. Also my Chuck Taylors—not sure why it took me so long to buy a pair but now I kind of never want to wear anything else. And then that other obvious stuff, like a phone, my camera and flash, and a cat.

How do you create photos of objects that, in your words, “want nothing to do with each other”?

I try to avoid asking myself these things at all costs: “Does it make sense?” “Has it been done before?” “Why are you doing this?” If a question like that ever gets in between myself and my art, the art will be that much more removed from what makes it genuine, and what gives it a sense of spontaneity.

You’ve been quoted as saying you want to take “bad images of awful people”—who is the absolute worst and how do you want to shoot them?

I haven’t thought about that since the interview you pulled that quote from! I haven’t been seeking out terrible people or dwelling on who is the worst, but whenever I meet another Dick Cheney-equivalent, you can be sure I’ll make them look like an asshole.
