Question 1: Why do you do what you do? (Take pictures)
Answer: "I see beauty in everyday life and feel the need to capture it. I can best express my view of the world through my pictures. Taking pictures is my release; it is my passion."

Question 2: What is the meaning behind your work?
Answer: "This is purely my release. I feel a sense of accomplishment when I can show people my photos and convey a clear message of order (or even chaos). There is beauty everywhere; I want to share my view of the world with my audience"
