"This piece is really a reflection of myself. Everyone, including myself, knows me as a portrait photographer. However, this book does not include any pictures of other people. I think of my work as artistic examinations of people, and this is a continuation of a study that I haven’t really taken on before - the self portrait. I’ve been feeling really lost without a muse and I don’t really know how it feels to be so uninspired by everyone around you. A lot has been going on in my personal life and I fail to see the value of having tons of images and negatives of people who are no longer in your life. Sure, it helps me remember those people, but how much do I really need to remember?"
