Wow Mark thanks, I'm honored.
» You seem to embrace photography whole heartedly, what was it that grabbed your attention?
Air would frequently send out these digital postcards via email, Usually enlightening the recipients to the magic of the microscopic. When I got my first digital camera, I used to photograph things going on in my daily life, but I didn't have any intention of making real art with it. My background is in graphic design, which I enjoy doing but I didn't really choose the profession. I stumbled into it and it became a full time thing. So when Air asked me to post art on the fora I wasn't really sure what to put up. I started to post some of the photos I had been taking over the past couple years and actually got really into it. When Phong created the light lapse thread I was hooked. Light really is an amazing thing! Now I'm just trying to figure out how to apply my creative sensibilities to what I see around me. I find that alot of what I already know applies.
» As a Nichiren Buddhist, what is it about this ideology/faith that appeals to you? I really like the way buddhism helped me to gain a real sense of responsability for my actions. Basically that if I'm not happy with someone or something in my environment, I can use buddhism to transform the situation by transformaing myself. My use of the camera pretty much coincides with when I started practicing buddhism oddly enough. I believe that it's because of what I've learned from buddhism that I have the confidence to keep moving forward and exploring new ideas.
» Your photography seems to centre around people and their environment, what is it that draws you into the man made jungle?
I live in an urban environment and I'm looking for unique and beautiful things at all times. I love to photograph the people around me. It's a challenge getting access to people though. Sometimes I feel like every person I see would make an interesting photograph, it's all about making a connection with someone.
» Finally where do you want to be in 5 years time?
That's such an awesome thing to think about... I definitely want to be creating more art. It would my interesting to go to school maybe. I want to travel a lot more too.
