Such an interesting interview. Clear-eyed and eye-opening. The photographs compelling and satisfying at the same time. For me they teeter between fine art and design, tumbling over themselves to create a unique way of perceiving the world through color photography. And yes, poetry!

Really liked this interview. I discovered the photographies after hearing it in the car when I got back home and I was blowed away. Thank you!
