Q: How did you become good at what you do?
A: "Being a photographer means taking lots and lots and lots of photos, and certainly they are not all good. I've shot tens of thousands photos that were somewhere between pretty good and pretty bad, and I had to allow that most of my shots would be mediocre (at best), then look at my less-than-wonderful shots in terms of "how can I make them better," all the while looking for the shots that I really loved."
Q: Why do you do what you do?
A: "[Photography is] my voice, my vision, my way of communicating and expressing myself to the world! Then, to make things even better, through photography, I get to inspire people, help people, and contribute to the world around me."
Q: Do you have any advice for aspiring photographers?
A: "This goes back to developing your creative vision: How can you look at something that everyone sees every day (and anyone can take a picture of), and bring something unique and original to the expression of that thing, or that moment? A truly great photographer must be willing to bring some part of him or her self to bear...to open up and share a part of them self with their subject."
