What is your favorite type of art to create?

Meaningful art. Most of my photography clients are events, weddings, families, newborns, pets, and fantasy style photo-sessions - things that have emotions, strong memories attached, or the fleeting quick moments we all want to freeze forever. When I create art for myself it usually has deep meaning, new techniques I want to try and master, or I turn the everyday mundane life into extraordinary through composition and lighting. Currently I've focused on light painting at night.

Where do you find inspiration?

Nature, moments, connections, music, my own personal memories, the sound of rain and thunder, the wind, EVERYDAY LIFE!!!!!!

What would you do with $25,000?

1) Open a photography studio. 2) Start an intern program for youth considering photography as a career path. 3) Start teaching photography workshops at historical castles around the world. 4) Upgrade equipment. 5) Advocate and help other parents of Cleft Palate Pierre-Robin Sequence children, my youngest son is a Cleft Palate PRS baby. *only "small" dreams over here....
