The work I care about is terribly simple. I observe. I try to entertain. But above all I want my pictures to be emotional. Little else interests me in photography.

You can find pictures anywhere. It's simply a matter of noticing things and organizing them.

Now very often events are set up for photographers... The weddings are orchestrated about the photographers taking the picture, because if it hasn't been photographed it doesn't really exist.

I am serious about not being serious.

Most photographers work best alone, myself included.

I appreciate simplicity, true beauty that lasts over time, and a little wit and eclecticism that make life more fun.

The advice I would give to any photographer - young, old or in-between - is to explore anything visual because this is, after all, how you express your artistry. Look at paintings, movies, drawings, sculptures - look at anything visual and try to integrate that into your visual sense. After that, go out and take pictures and keep on taking pictures!
