I've just been working hard, trying to get some good stuff to come out.

Confidence is such a fragile and precious thing.

You can't try to be somebody you're not; that's not style.

It is one of Heaven's best gifts to hold such a dear creature in one's arms.

I believe that photographers should be passionate, determined, disciplined and ready to seek out their own styles and identities.

I make myself laugh at everything, so that I do not weep.
