“ I think it is important to do the research, to self-edit well, to be open to critique, but not to get hung up on technique, critical theory, process or the desire for instant success. One can sense real and unique personality and sincere expression in someone’s work; and it comes from exploring the deep personal motivations for making photographs, spending time and not shying away from the big issues. The best work celebrates what it means to have your eyes and heart open and to be really alive.
