I feel as if I've been fairly successful with maintaining a cohesive tone between the work I make as a photographer and as a director.

I feel like I've set the bar fairly high, and I want to keep living up to that bar.

With the work that I do as a director, I've got dialogue, camera movement, and character blocking to help create a tone to the piece. In photography, those elements are somewhat void so that tone becomes a bit more subtle but still equally important.

Being an actor really, really strengthens me as a director. There's just a certain type of understanding that comes from having been there and knowing how much is really being asked of actors that helps me.

I feel betrayed by own mother.

If I do a certain number of ads, I have to do a personal project in between, just for my own sanity. I still consider myself a punk-rock kid.
