IS PHOTOGRAPHY IMPORTANT TO YOU?

Yes. There are quite a few photographers pursuing the same sort of skewed realism that interests me. Some of my closest friends are photographers, and I collectas often as I can afford to or when I can talk someone into making a trade. Diane Arbus is my all-time favorite, but unfortunately I never knew her and now she's dead. Among my other favorites are Keith Carter, Bill Wittliff, Flor Garduño, Kate Breakey, Mary Ellen Mark, Mariana Yampolsky, James Evans, Graciela Iturbide, and Robert Parke Harrison.
