bilbrown asked: A painter, a model I have started working with introduced me to your work. Actually, I picked up FACTORY and saw it but had no idea it was yours. I was/am like you an art director, became a photographer by pure accident. I shot a great deal of alternative fashion work and likely what some would consider straight-up porn for a few years. Then a relationship happened. I shot only with her for two years (sad end). My aesthetic coming back from that changed me. Have you a muse(s)? or, what made you?

Interesting story!

I don’t really have a muse. I’ve had some in the past and they’re very helpful, but I also learned how to turn more people in to short-term muses. It’s actually kind of liberating to be without one for the moment!

As for “what made me?” I can’t say. I thought about my life a lot in the past few days and how I’m just making up a map as I go now. Drive and determination for what I considered “success” was my main motivator but now it’s moving toward exploring new frontiers with the people I meet. It’s refreshing.
