DEFINE ART.
I'm not sure that it can be defined, or that I'm qualified to do the job.

WHERE AND FROM WHOM DO YOU FIND YOUR INSPIRATION?
All over the place - a good song, a good read, friends, nature - human, animal and otherwise, I'm a big fan of folk stories and mythology.

WHAT IS SUCCESS TO YOU?
Being content with the quality of work I produce. Pushing the scene, the medium, the messages.

WHAT IS YOUR PHILOSOPHY OF COMMUNITY?
It is absolutely necessary to survival. If you can't find one, create one.

DEFINE ART?
Art should be an honest reflection of where you are in life, art should be a conduit to channel your insecurities. Art should be raw and completely expressive of where you are in life.

WHERE AND FROM WHOM DO YOU FIND YOUR INSPIRATION?
Recently its been the journey of finding my identity, honing the idea of what responsibilities and duties that I need to fulfill, it's opened a whole universe of discoveries of my placement in this world. The relationship that I've had with my father, the intense and strange struggles that exist between us has been something I've been delving into as an inspiration to me in my design.

WHERE AND FROM WHOM DO YOU FIND YOUR INSPIRATION?
I am inspired by the humorous, the unusual, and the bold. I love quirk. The late, great Arnold Newman once reviewed my portfolio in college and told me I had a sense of humor in my photography. I consider that the best compliment I’ve ever been paid on my work.

WHAT IS SUCCESS TO YOU?
Artistically, success is being able to make images of my own choosing for a living. On a broader level, it’s the ability to control a positive destiny for myself, my family and the human and planetary systems on which we all depend. So “total success” would be helping to bring about some sort of sustainable relationship between humans and their environment. Achieving this kind of success would require massive personal, political and environmental action and may be impossible. But I like reaching for what seems impossible. Every once in a while I get lucky.
