War Photographer
The first time I saw this documentary was at the Film Forum in 2002. I just thought it would be interesting to watch. I wasn’t into photography at all at the time. I had learned photography in high school (in the 1990′s), but hadn’t really touched a camera in years. The movie had a big [...]Archive

Hardcore
When talking about the music that I like, I’ve had some people tell me that they expected me to be into jazz and classical. Or maybe U2 and Radiohead. I’ve always found it strange. Not that I don’t like jazz and classical. Jazz and classical are great. But it’s not what I really love.Archive

My Love For Trash

Where Inception Led Me
I watched Inception a couple of weeks ago. Later than most people I know. Many of my friends recommended it and thought I would like it a lot because of how the movie probes ideas of reality and dreaming. Overall, I thought Inception was well made. Great production, effects, and acting. But having a long [...]Archive

Blood, Sweat and Tears
I was thinking about writing about all the planning and prep that went into the beach shoot…but honestly, it gets a bit boring. Then I was going to write about how I go to great lengths for interesting angles. But I got sick of the self-praise. So simply put…I take risks. I wasn’t always so [...]Archive
