I have often thought about what inspires and influences me. What makes me want to photograph and produce images. I don’t have one particular genre or theme about that. I am influenced by so many things. So I have began to compile a list of the people and things that I can think of right now. Things that one way or the other have and continue to influence the way that I see and want to capture the world. I may add to this list as time goes on.
