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.

Everyone started to have a camera. That's when I started to travel outside of New York and go into nature.

I have absolutely no interest in creating depressing images.

Just being friends with people now for over 15 years, you realize what we all came out of. What we came out of was the intense feeling of growing up. It sounds kind of cliché, but it's true.

I just remember how excited I was to have a boyfriend and be in love and to document it.
