  • I don't know if anyone has ever asked you this, but what inspired you to teach yourself photography?

    I honestly don’t know, but I can tell you a story. I love to take pictures of birds and one day when I was starting photography I saw a Common Goldeneye floating peacefully in a small pond. She seemed so cool, just hanging out being a duck. It was a great chance to capture a tranquil moment in nature. Then all of a sudden she just lost it. She dived under water like a shark and when she returned to the surface she went so nuts that I fell on my butt in the mud. I fled for my life. As harrowing as it was, that experience made me realize that I wanted to take better photos of birds. They’re fascinating. I feel like I’m watching myself when I see their psychotic glazed eyes staring into oblivion.
