My dad was a very conservative Republican businessman, so obviously I considered it a problem when I realized I was a lesbian.

Light is everything in photographs and has to be considered in all situations.

There's a lesbian aesthetic, just as there's gay camp, but I don't know if there's such a thing as 'lesbian art.'

I go back and forth, but I never wanted to be the photographer of the gay and lesbian community. I will wave a rainbow flag proudly, but I am not a singular identity. I think a singular identity isn't very interesting, and I'm a little bit more multifaceted as a person than that.

I'm very interested in the language of photography in relationship to painting.

I'm very empathic to the construction of masculinity within our culture and how we build these identities up.
