Just looking when I was little at pictures of cars and houses that I wanted - it gives you a certain motivation, it gives you a goal.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm not going to say I know a ton about what I'm looking at, but I enjoy capturing the photos and the artistry of it. I'm getting better at it, and I'll keep getting better.
I think setting a goal, getting a visual image of what it is you want. You've got to see what it is you want to achieve before you can pursue it.
I like to take pictures of lots of things: people-such as my nephews, my dogs, and just interesting objects that I see. For instance, I might take a picture of flowers by the side of the road, an old sign or a fence.
When I see a car I've designed going down the street and somebody admiring it, that's a nice feeling.
Music, architecture and pictures have always been my passions, and all that material wealth has meant for me, is being able to have some of the pictures I liked.
I like photographs which leave something to the imagination.
I was drawn to street photography because there are pictures everywhere there: a woman holding a dog, a baby screaming to be put in a pram, kids playing punch ball, stores with huge barrels of kosher pickles outside. I wanted to photograph life, and here it was.
If I can be in a place where my image is encouraging people to see different people behind the camera, and my image and the images I make can help open up a certain world view, I think that's all a part of a larger spirit of change and progress, and I'm happy to be part of it.
I don't have an interest in any car that isn't good for the environment, other than maybe an aesthetic quality in a picture book.
I went into photography because it seemed like the perfect vehicle for commenting on the madness of today's existence.
