I read a recent statistic that eighty-seven percent of women are dissatisfied with themselves, and over forty-seven percent of men. My work is visu-medicine to heal people and see beauty within people.

My camera is my compass; it's guided me to so many different places.

There is just something about the common being. My education pretty much came from the streets, just connecting with people, different cultures. I gained the wealth just engaging at that level. I'm still like that. I continue to document everyday people versus the stars.

Sometimes we are just divided, but we still, for the most part, we have similar hopes and dreams.

Photography is humbling, it really is, and it really allows for me to atone for some of the missteps I've made throughout the course of my life.

For the most part, as a society, we are not happy with ourselves.

For me, the stars are the invisible people on the street that people don't really get a chance to know.
