Did he take time out for a quick word? I gather his celebrity notoriety has more to do with conceptions his viewers overlay his confonting street images, and his sometimes aweful interviews, and that in reality that isnt really the man. Would still have liked a stop or two to sharpen him up and separate him from the background. Summiluxs in soft light are really lovely in the threes and fours.

I recognized him in the street and started a conversation. We chatted for about 15 minutes; he is a friendly and engaging person. I got to see him in action, and what those videos of him on the net don't show is how he often thanks his subjects afterwards. Did'nt use any flash for this shot. Thanks for all the comments.

That's a nice and very characteristic Gilden portrait. It's easy to get the impression in the latest interviews and in action videos of BG that he isalmost as much performance artist as he is photographer, but I suspect this is 'hammed up' a bit for the camera. There's a very engaging IN MOTION recently been posted on the Magnum website:

A Short Interview | Magnum In Motion

 

BG in his chaotic looking, book crammed apartment talking about pictures and print-making. Less than three minutes, and basically an ad for Hewlett Packard, but charming nonetheless.
