I'm in a position to look back at my life, and I realized there were a number of experiences that needed to be documented.
I don't want my son to have to collect a bunch of 'New York Times' articles to see what I was like.
Photography has literally changed my life.
I realized so much of my life hasn't been in a well-lit room, and I realized the importance of documenting my experiences as a way to memorialize them.
The cool thing about writing music, writing anything, is that once you publish it, it's there forever.
We grew up with a camera in front of us.
I sit with the intention to write a record.
I think I'm like that nerdy dad from middle school who always has a video camera, but in the same respect, I only take it out during interesting occasions.
I think nowadays people are so used taking the camera to the family picnic - so people are less surprised by films made of them, like home movies.
