The faster I travel, the less I see. So I walk, often the same walk over and over again, until something clicks and I come across a thing or a scene that just screams at me to be photographed. I am pig-headed and artistically deaf, so sometimes the thing needs to scream more than once. Eventually I dig out a camera (the biggest I can carry) and I bang off a shot just to make the noise stop.
Then it's back to walking.
My inspiration comes from poets, painters, illustrators, novelists, musicians, sculptors - in fact, from anyone who finds a way to make a space in their lives for their own creativity, and who has the nerve and the dedication to follow through on their instincts and actually do something.
