I went through a pretty big David Bowie period when I was younger, and that has affected me profoundly in my life and my work.

I'm interested in reaching the masses with my work. It's one of my goals.

Actually, I didn't study photography at first. I went to school for painting my first year, poetry my second year, graphic design my third and fourth year, and photography my fifth.

Whatever emotions you're going through, you somehow seek out the people that are going through similar emotions or that maybe have something you need.

You have to be able to observe life as if you were a camera all the time, constantly looking at light and the way that things are placed and the way people hold themselves. You need the ability to see something in someone or something that no one else really sees and be able to bring that to light. Basically, you have to be an obsessive crazy person.

I didn't have to be friends with people who were into pop music.
