Business Cards, Ruscha explained in a later interview with Trina Mitchum, "started as a joke but then we decided to go through with it [...] We had a dinner at the Bistro in Beverly Hills and after dinner we had a very dramatic business card exchange which Larry Bell photographed with his Polaroid and good judgment. Later the book of photographs came out."
