βOf all my photos of River Phoenix, this was his favorite. Actually he said this was his favorite all time photograph, because it was the βdarkestβ and that left me wondering why my seeing the darkness in him made him happy. River was complicated for sure, and I doubt many people ever knew him totallyβ¦ I didnβt.Β Aug 23rd is his birthday. So Iβm posting it in his honorβ
