And young people who are learning digital skills discover that the real challenge is coming up with an image that resonates, first of all, with your self and hopefully, with an audience. They can learn all these new techniques and think that they're easier to use, but creating great images isn't about the tools.

My creative process begins when I get out with the camera and interact with the world. A camera is truly a license to explore. There are no uninteresting things. There are just uninterested people.

Well, I do think, particularly the way I work, the better images occur when you're moving to the fringes of your own understanding. That's where self-doubt and risk taking are likely to occur. It's when you trust what's happening at a non-intellectual non-conscious level that you can produce work that later resonates, often in a way that you can't articulate a response to.

Of course, in order to make art, the frustration of not working has to be greater than the frustration of working.

My visual quest is driven by a desire to create a universe capable of supporting feelings and ideas.

The anticipation of discovering new possibilities becomes my greatest joy.

I try to begin working with no preconceived ideas.
