When I Take A Picture

My Early Childhood Equipped Me Really Well For My Portrait Work: The Quick Encounter, Where You Are Not Going To Know The Subject For Very Long. These Days I Am Much More Comfortable With The Fifteen Minute Relationship, Than I Am With A Life Long Relationship.

What I End Up Shooting Is The Situation. I Shoot The Composition And My Subject Is Going To Help The Composition Or Not.

I Wish That All Of Nature's Magnificence, The Emotion Of The Land, The Living Energy Of Place Could Be Photographed.

There Are Still So Many Places On Our Planet That Remain Unexplored. I'd Love To One Day Peel Back The Mystery And Understand Them.

I Admired The Work Of Photographers Like Beaton, Penn, And Avedon As Much As I Respected The Grittier Photographers Such As Robert Frank. But In The Same Way That I Had To Find My Own Way Of Reportage, I Had To Find My Own Form Of Glamour.
