25 Random Things About My Art
This is an exercise. Try it.
- I love art. No really. I LOVE art. I love how art can take people to a whole other place and how art can bring people into themselves. I love how it’s transformative and how it’s timeless even when it can be timely or tired.
- I love how photography limits what I can create. It keeps me from being able to completely manipulate a scene while forcing me to find angles and use equipment to tell the story or spread the idea.
- I have a really bad memory.
- I write things down so I don’t forget them.
- I photograph people, places, and things so I don’t forget them.
- I’m genuinely scared that someday I’ll forget too much. I’ll forget why I do what I do. I’ll forget who I am. I’ll forget why I love the things in my life that I love. It scares the shit out of me.
- I can be highly emotional.
- Movies, books, and art have a big influence in my life. They make me feel. They help me relax and they fire me up. They inspire me to be a better human.
- I’m scared my kids will grow up in a world without culture.
- I listen to music almost all day long.
- I dance when no one is looking.
- Sometimes I sing in the shower.
- I hate reality TV. I really do believe that it’s ever growing popularity will trigger the downfall of our society. Or something like that.

- Sometimes a great piece of art can literally take my breath away.
- The idea of working at a desk for someone else, for the rest of my life, for something I don’t believe in, is almost worse than the idea of spending the rest of my life in prison. If I didn’t have a family it would probably be equal.
