I remember sitting on the floor of my parents' apartment, coloring a picture of a basketball player, completely ignoring the lines. My father sat down on the floor next to me to show me how to stay inside the lines and I had a tantrum.

Many years later, I've learned that instead of coloring inside the lines, I prefer to just draw (and photograph) my own. Making pictures of people has always been my favorite thing to do in the whole world, whether it's using a pencil and paper or a camera.

I truly love the images I create, and I hope you do too.
