• Artist Statement

  I went out to Sonoma Raceway to capture some of the race cars that would be there. But quickly someone asked me if they could "hop in the shot." Since I was already taking a picture of their car I couldn't say no. And quickly he invited his friend over, and I spent the rest of the day capturing the car community working on their cars rather than just the emotionless cars themselves.

• Creative Statement

  Creativity is achieved within a person once they can take the picture they want. I was scared to ask people if I could take pictures of them since they were already busy working on their cars, but one person gave me the chance I needed. I became creative.
