I've been really busy lately with my photography, and I've also have gained a new understanding for how I shoot and what I choose to shoot thanks to a recent interview with Jill Greenberg in Focus magazine. Excluding that of course I'm influenced by some photographers, I'm even more heavily influenced by painters, film makers, and I know this sounds strange but musicians. I'll often go out and shoot by myself late night listening to music, and look for pictures that explain how I feel at that moment, more or less, I try to create in a photograph visually, what I hear with music mentally.

These are heavily influenced by Chris Zabriskie's new record This Silent Bloody Night. Which I had the honor of doing the artwork for. I highly recommend this record, it's every bit as frightening as it is beautiful.
