I think I came alive when I started photography.

I wish more people felt that photography was an adventure the same as life itself and felt that their individual feelings were worth expressing. To me, that makes photography more exciting.

Doubts are more cruel than the worst of truths.

I don't want to be a leader that is one-dimensional or two-dimensional because he's not willing to be open.

I'm living beyond my means, but I can afford it.
