very nice!

It's hard to talk about this stuff and not get tied in knots, isn't it?

I was once interviewed by a local arts magazine and made a mess of it, I think. It made sense in my mind but didn't come out right. Maybe it takes practice. For what it's worth, I think this piece came out very well and it is definitely deserved recognition. I haven't been on LFPF for all that long but I always look forward to your image postings. Congrats on the book, and a more general congrats to an excellent photographer!

Thanks everyone for the very kind words. I've gone from thinking of the interview as pretty good to thinking of it as pure gibberish and back again, and then back once more. It's probably part-gibberish. I did my best. It's hard to talk about this stuff and not get tied in knots, isn't it? Let's just say I'm compelled to photograph and hope that it's all taking me somewhere, even though deep down I suspect there's no where to really get TO (I mean in a spiritual sense). How's that? :-) In any case though, thanks again!

I thought you did excellent with what they gave you. The questions he posed were pretty 'open ended' so it was up to you to define & direct your answer to suit your vision, but that's rhetoric isn't it? Like politicians.

If you look at some other blogs, you will see questions more directed at a photographer's work, which are easier to answer:

Really enjoyed the interview, photos, and your part-gibberish made perfect sense to me.
