I get a lot of notes and emails asking me where the self portraits/dark/blood/whatever photographs have gone and why I don't shoot that kind of photograph anymore. The answer is... somewhat complicated, and I don't really want to go into the minutiae of it here (or anywhere, actually) but I figured I could give a brief explanation. In short... I just don't
want to take that kind of photo anymore. I don't feel... the same way I used to. I don't have the same emotions and issues inside me that creating those images used to help me expel. My insides have changed. Who I am has changed. My art reflects that. I realize I have lost a lot of "fans" (hehe it's fun to use that word) but I don't create to cater to any single audience, I create for myself, my children, my clients... but yes, mainly myself. And if other people like it along the way, excellent. If not, carry on. And thanks for watching

We were made to be lovers bold in broken places, pouring ourselves out again and again until were called home.
