I'd like to meet:
People who...love the beauty of captured moments and understand their meaning. People who have passion and live passionately. People who understand that a world without creativity, music & art is prison for the soul. ***Musicians who want photos to help promote their music***

Books:
I collect art books and magazines. I read all types of books on many topics. I always underline my favorite lines, clip my fave photos & collect endless quotes.
Heroes:
Ayn Rand because of her integrity and a belief in living life as an individual. Andrew Zaeh the best photo mentor a little naive Russian could ever have! The guy from Kill Hannah who said: "Nothing is as entirely exciting or as satisfying as that feeling that you've just written a song that works," he says. "Those are the moments when I realize that there is no doubt at all that this is my favorite thing to do, and I know with 100 percent certainty that I'll always keep doing it." That's 100% how I feel when I've taken a THE shot!!! Annie Leibowitz because I could learn a lot from her creativity, experience and approach. Amy Guip because of her ability to solve creative problems and flawlessly execute ideas. Richard Avedon because his simple, classic shooting style was crisp perfection evident in every image he has captured. Audrey Hepburn because of her personal grace, aesthetic beauty and timeless style. Lance Armstrong, because of his strength to overcome the worst obstacles in life despite all odds. Gordon Parks for his ability to hang on and make a living doing what he loved despite the circumstances of his youth. Sas Christian because her portraits are aspects of my personality. The detailed, vividly colored and emotional subjects ellicit in me the feelings I strive to portray in my personal work. MY CLOSE FRIENDS because they are the people who inspire me every day!
