Working everyday requires one to do one of two things, be motivated to perform a task for a paycheck or to be motivated by work regardless of a paycheck. We all have to have both in our lives in order to stay out of jail and to pay our bills… eat! I was asked by an old friend the other day if a day goes by where I don't make pictures. Some, but very few and usually its an illness. But making something everyday isn't easy, at least something where you feel you're growing. I am motivated by documenting my surrounds, but I also have a part of me that is motivated by developing visual ideas in hopes to convey something a little more universal and touching upon our humanness and all the things that we need to work on.I don't always know what I am going to try to say, but I pursue this work with purpose that there is 'something' to say and needs to be said. Some things I make are total failures… actually most things, but there are a few here and there that I keep finding grab me and I try to work on those more. Photograph by Richard Sayer
