I've been lucky enough to have had the luxury of being able to make the picture I've wanted to make each time on my own terms and without compromise.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There's a good many pictures I'd like to make; we'll see how many I'll be allowed to make.
It's weird being a photographer because you really have to divorce yourself from the image.
I like making things. I don't like getting my picture taken.
I'll never have enough time to paint all the pictures I'd like to.
If you've noticed that I don't use long takes, it's not because I don't like them, but because no one gives me the necessary means to treat myself to them. It's more economical to make one image, then this image and then that image, and try to control them later, in the editing studio.
I love producing! It's so much fun to start with a blank canvas and create the picture you want to create and see it all come together.
I'm making the art for me first. I'm making it because these are the pictures I want to see. I'm making pictures that don't yet exist.
I would never create an image for myself; I'm not that clever.
I've never made any picture, good or bad, without paying for it in emotional turmoil.
I made some good pictures, and I made some bad ones. I wasn't trying to build an image, though; I was trying to build a life for myself.
