Don’t mean to sound brash, but who do you work for? How do you make money doing what you do? I’m extremely interested and a huge fan, I didn’t know you had a Tumblr and recently just found out. I’m curious because I want to know, do you freelance or just do this for fun and then have a side job? Thanks for doing what you do and allowing us to see your work that you post here. A big inspiration. Much love brother.

Haha. Not brash at all. I run the LA arm of a tech company called Rocket Science Consulting and work in the entertainment industry. I started up with photography again when I was an editor for a living and hated it so I needed something to inspire me again and so I got out my old film cameras and started shooting agin. Photography is what keeps me sane. Ive debated trying to take it more as a career, however, once you go that route you lose control over what you shoot. So for me Im plenty happy with having a job and a passion. 

As things evolve those two may join, and there are a few things in the works behind the scenes that may change that, or may bring in some new stuff all together; but for me my photography is very intentionally just that. MY photography. Not photography for hire. 

Hope that helps!
