You've said you can't have a job. Why not?
I think working is great and all, ya gotta make money, but personally I don't like having time restraints on me. I say this now, but years from now I'll feel totally opposite I suppose. Haha.
In recent work you have shot people you travel with. Are you friends with the people in your photos?
Photography has made me what I am. It pulls me in all directions. It gives and takes friends, and pushes me to move miles and miles. My desire to photograph these people in the beginning is what led me to develop such great relationships with them; some being relationships that will last clear on 'til the day I die. I'm really lucky 'cause I never used to be this social.
Why are you drawn to photography?
I don't really like getting into the "why" question; there's no tellin' really why people do what they do. Photography is especially important; images are one of the leading medias that shape our lives. There's so much bullshit out there. It's nice to see/show things you've never seen before.
