The reason I call myself a documentary photographer is the idea of how photographs contain and participate in history.

I'm a complete supporter of Obama and kind of in love with him.

I tried to get as far away from home as possible after I graduated from high school because I had a hard time being a kid.

I do photograph things for people to look at 100 years from now. But we're such a mediated society that things become historical the next day.

Light is everything in photographs and has to be considered in all situations.

Language is a very complicated thing, and that's one of the reasons why I like making photographs.

I'm very empathic to the construction of masculinity within our culture and how we build these identities up.
