I don't know if it's inspiration so much as an obsessive need to try to capture things that catch my attention. I take a lot of pictures that many other people probably find very boring, like pictures of soap, or a rubber duck, or a rubber duck on soap. I was working at a client's house, getting a plasma screen mounted and updating the automation system, and I remarked to the client, "Hey, that's really nice light hitting those low voltage trim rings." He laughed, and I think he thought I was joking.


I don't listen to music when taking pictures. I'm horrible with cords. I once took pictures while driving and on the phone. It was kind of a serious, relationship kind of conversation, so I got a little bit of crap for that. Weren't even good shots.
