I didn't decide to be a photographer; I just happened to fall into it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Truthfully, I don't really think of myself as a photographer. I don't have all the disciplines and knowledge of a person who's spent their life devoted to photography.
Many people misunderstand me - I'm quite happy to be called a photographer. All of a sudden, the art world has caught up with photography, and they are trying to hijack us.
I liked the idea of being a photographer, just that you take this one picture of this one thing that'll never happen again - it's a bit weird when you think about it.
I came to photography by accident.
I never set out to be a photographer.
My dad was actually against me being a photographer. He thought it was a dead-end job and that you end up doing baby pictures and weddings.
That's true, because I'm a photographer now.
I have no regrets about my work. To be a photographer was a gift of the gods. I can't imagine anything that would have been better.
Many people when I started didn't believe I was a good fashion photographer, and probably they still think that.
I realized I didn't want to be a photographer. I gave it up, but I still worked that job in the restaurant and I found myself constantly hanging out in the kitchen.
