I have a vivid, apocalyptic imagination.

I like to make people a little uncomfortable. It encourages them to examine who they are and why they think the way they do.

Photographs open doors into the past, but they also alloq a look into the future

The things that are close to you are the things you can photograph the best.

It's always been my philosophy to try to make art out of the everyday and ordinary...it never occurred to me to leave home to make art.

Like all photographers, I depend on serendipity I pray for what might be referred to as the angel of chance.

I think truth is a layered phenomenon. There are many truths that accumulate and build up. I am trying to peel back and explore these rich layers of truth. All truths are difficult to reach.

Unless you photograph what you love, you're not going to make good art.

Photographs supplant and corrupt the past, all the while creating their own memories.

I obeyed, but my crime was that I did not look obedient.

It wasn't about being happy or unhappy. I just didn't want to be me anymore.

I always carry lip balm and lipstick. Lipstick is a very important beauty product because I find that lips are the most beautiful feature of anyone's face.

The inspiration was this great group of 40 or 50 relatives, sometimes for Thanksgiving or Passover or something and my brothers would just go up and make them laugh.

If God gives you a platform where you're influencing others, you need to steward it well.

Our passion is and should always be to make life better.

I read a lot of graphic novels - some of my favorites graphic novelists or artists are Rebecca Kraatz, Gabrielle Bell, Graham Roumieu, Tom Gauld, and Renee French.

Truth and love will overcome lies and hatred.
