Where do you find inspiration?I pray before I start, ask for the spirit to show me when/how to approach someone and take their picture. It truly is a honor when I “capture” the unique imprint of a person’s soul. I am certain that when I look back on my life it will be the unseen “hunchbacks” who are renowned by millions of angels.
What would you do with $25,000?For the past 6 years I’ve lived with a 24/7 never ending intractable migraine which means I’m unable to work equating to mountains of debt. If I win this competition I’d pay off said debt, donate to a nonprofit I helped start, and buy art supplies. I’d also get my hair cut!
