what he might do. >> i'll be announcing for soon. >> reporter: henry armor's national association of convenience stores represent more than 150,000 businesses across the u.s. >> part of the reason why we have vaping is to try and help people that are smokers go to a lower risk product. >> reporter: mitt romney, who recently introduced a bill that would ban flavored e-cigarettes and tax the industry, wasn't buying it. >> at convenience stores, they sell a lot of products. they're not going to go out of business because they don't have flavors. >> reporter: the centers for disease control and prevention says more than a quarter of all u.s. high school students admit to vaping in the last month. >> there is not just one type of disease you can get from e-cigarettes. >> reporter: and this week, the american medical association called for a total ban on all e-cigarette products that do not meet fda approval as smoking cessation tools. the president seemed sympathetic to the industry representatives'

argument that banning flavored products could create a black market, but he has also faced political pressure from vapors who have vowed not to vote for him if he supports a ban. and you heard him hint that maybe a decision would be coming soon. >> it's interesting. i was saying about the difference between the flavored and non-flavored ecigarettes. if you're trying to get off smoking, are you going for the flavored or the others? >> it seems the concern at least with the meeting is young children who are addicted in part because of the flavors. >> kenneth, thank you. not labelli outbreak has sicken people in 16 states as recently as november 10th. investigators zeroed in on salinas, california, a major growing region. but they have not found the source of the illness.

she died penniless because she thought the monetization of her craft was shameless. let's be shameless. just -- we've got -- >> reporter: that's how you feel billion it when people say that there's more interest in the celebrity or the business part of it than the actual art itself? >> i think you have to have a market. if people want to turn around and say, yeah, well, david, yeah, he knows american football players and british football players and supermodel, whatever, i work with them. i think you've done a remarkable job -- >> reporter: yarrow can take months to plan one picture. but once everything is in place, things move fast. from sunset boulevard to here -- >> yeah. and we pride ourselves on our work ethic. we shot this 26 hours ago, and here is the final version. >> reporter: he then only releases a limited number of original signed pictures. single prints can go for well over $100,000. do you ever stop to think about that? that you're producing pictures that demand that amount of money?

>> in 1985, i photographed, i went home, i go home, i would print up my pictures in the dark room, and i would sell them on the streets the next day for 20 quid a picture. when you go from selling pictures on the street for 20 quid -- [ applause ] -- to seeing one of your pictures go to sotheby's, of course you think about the fact that your journey has worked and your hard work's paid off. absolute carnage. do i go to bed thinking about it, no. i just want to get better. >> so good. it's amazing. look at your face -- perfect. >> sort of a genius strategy. you only release a certain number, and then never print those photos again. so only a certain number stay in circulation. that's why they're so valuable. >> love those. absolutely magnificent. >> supply and demand. coming up, we'll ride the railsn a trip back in time. you're watching "cbs this morning saturday." ouope people e

away? >> whatever they bring to it. i think as an artist, i don't know if it's my job to give people answers. it's my job to ask questions and show us ourselves so we can sort of come to terms when who we are as a society. >> you're a director and someone you worked with before in "the master of none," molina matsukas. she's called this a protest film. is that something you it would use? >> i think of it as protest art. nina simone said it's an other artist's duty to reflect the times. i believe i'm reflecting the times in which we live. i believe it's open season on black bodies. when i look at the news every day and hear you tell stories about black unarmed people killed and a week later you report the police officer is back on the force is traumatizing. very traumatizing for me every

time i see that. i think for some people it's a news story. whenever i see a name come across the screen, a part of me dies. >> you said as a black artist you take tragedies and make them beautiful. >> yeah. i don't think we have a choice. i think black people have been making beauty out of misery for decades. and i think that's our superpower. >> you're not calling this an anti-cop film, are you? >> no. when people see the film, they'll see that just like black people on a monolith, neither are police. it's all layered. but i do think that when black people see the police uniform, it represents something that can be scary, that can be dangerous. and it could be the end of your life. >> you also call -- it's a first for you, writing. >> yeah. >> first for molina directing. the first for the lead actress. >> yeah. >> were you scared to have so many firsts on one project for something so big? >> you know, i wasn't scared. i think i believed in us.

[ horn ] taken over in 1970 by people who wanted not just to preserve it but to give others a railroad experience from a century gone by. all for tickets ranging from

$100 to $200 for a six-hour trip. >> people begin to slow down. you know, we see the west here at 12 miles an hour. for a long time. >> reporter: retired chef chris carlton of corpus christi, texas, saw much more than just scenery. when you look out across this countryside, do you think you would ever want to come across this on a horse or wagon? >> you know, it gives you a really thoughtful mind of how those people made those decisions back 100 years ago. what made them come this way and obviously endure what is just unbelievably splendid, dangerous, fantastic country . t >> reporter: in its time, the steam engine was the peak of high tech. the 1800s version of the 747 or the space shuttle. >> you're looking at computer

cars for a new career back in service. it was watching trains and steam engines as a child that captivated john bush for life and made him jump at the chance of taking over here seven years ago. and how many of us can say this -- >> when i first started doing this, i actually wanted to do it enough that i findy got to where i found it boring. that never happened. that never happened. it is still fascinating, and for me, it's great. i have literally got tonight get paid to do what i wanted to do. [ horn ] >> reporter: it is said that the wail of a train whistle can trigger alarming for a journey, for an adventure. and here for a steam goliath taking us places we've never dreamed we would see.

ways, italian food, greek food. at the same time, there's got to be something that ties it together -- >> there's a lot of similarities and a lot of things that separate them, as well. that's going into telling the other half of my heritage. i think that's the good piece of -- it's a new challenge as a cook where you're learning new techniques. and it's, as you go through the research and go through and the storytelling and the dishes and the history of the cuisine and how things were established and where they've come from, from 200, 300 years ago to today. >> when you have somebody have one of these meals, whether it's italian or greek, what do you want them to walk away thinking? >> full. >> love it. >> i mean, it's the sense of hospitality. you want people to be taken care of. you want them to be pampered and nurtured and just kind of feel like they've been your true guest for the evening as they leave the restaurant. >> certainly are. itbe? ha >> i would say my grandparents just because they've never had the ability to see where this
