Cheating Death

While death is often something that is difficult to think about, we can cheat it through making art, because when we are not here, our art will be.

What I have learned about making good images is that I’ve made a shit ton of bad images. But if I didn’t make that bad work, I wouldn’t know what good work was.

We get caught up a lot with trends and following trends, and its not necessarily like trends are bad, but when I think about what'll happen when I'm not here, and what I'll leave behind, its my images, its my work. If I follow trends I don't know what that says about me when I'm not here anymore.

But what I can tell you is that, for me, in my experience, the best work I've made is honest work, and the best portraits I've made come from a place of love.
