I believe art prefers rules. For some artists, the worst thing you can do is say 'Do whatever you want.' Such permission can be terrifying. I know it is for me. Often it's better if you impose rules or restrictions on a project. Requirements can force you to be creative in unusual ways.

Happiness can be close by, even if your heart is far away.

Because when all you have is the past, it's hard to let it go.

Your future is your own again. And I consider that to be a happy ending to the story.

I try to make choices for my own life. And I try to make those choices count.

I want pictures like these. The kind that can capture a moment, make it real, make it last. I need pictures that do more than reflect. I need pictures that are truth.

People think edges are bad, but they are really there to keep up from falling to pieces. They don't hold us back, they hold us in. They hold us together.
