Yes, photography saved my life. Every time I go through something scary, traumatic, I survive by taking pictures.
A lot of people seem to think that art or photography is about the way things look, or the surface of things. That's not what it's about for me. It's really about relationships and feelings...it's really hard for me to do commercial work because people kind of want me to do a Nan Goldin. They don't understand that it's not about a style or a look or a setup. It's about emotional obsession and empathy.
I don't even like photography at all. I'm just doing photography until I can do something better.
