Not as tall as I used to be.
Why do you take pictures?

What advice would you give to new photographers?
1. Find that gets you excited and photograph that. Passion drives creativity.
2. Hang out with people who know more than you do and prepare to look foolish. If you’re not feeling humiliated from time to time, you’re not growing.

Do you have any advice for creatives?
Yeah, two things. First, keep it simple. Complexity will slow you down. No one has time to waste.
The second thing is to be fearless. Absolutely fearless. The whole world might think it’s a dumb idea, but you don’t answer to them. You answer to yourself. You’re the only person who’s going to be disappointed if you don’t accomplish your goals. Don’t hold back.
So, creativity is about confidence?
It’s about ignoring anyone who doesn’t appreciate your ideas.
Are you always this snarky?
Only on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Any other advice?
Stay humble and always be learning. The moment you think you have it all figured out, the world will run past you.
