What gives you inspiration?
Sontag’s On Photography.
What are your influences?
Stock photography.
Why did you choose these photos?
They best illustrate a photograph’s ability to signify. I like the idea that I can direct a viewer’s connotation of an image- it makes me feel like a hypnotist.
What does photography mean to you?
Like so many things: very easy to do, very difficult to do well and a middle ground as broad as Flickr itself (I’m on Flickr too). It’s an uphill battle to be original these days. I’m curious to see where it will all lead.
