"Produce your work to the very best of your ability. Send it out into the world. Listen to feedback, but measure it against your instincts. Learn from the feedback, but don’t supplicate yourself to it. Produce more work to the best of your ability. Be honest with yourself. Strive for deeper understanding and expression with all you’ve got. Give your work and yourself time to mature. Finish things so you can let go and move on. As has been so often said, even a fool who persists may eventually become wise. Then produce more work and plunge deeper into the process of awareness and expression. Soon, you will no longer care about the terms used to describe your work — snapshot or “Fine Art.” Do not confuse the map with the territory."

"My generation and generations after me, young generations, are less and less interested in fact of perfect compositions and action of making a perfect image; they are more interested in just a raw emotionality of it."

"Eventually I discovered for myself the utterly simple prescription for creativity; be intensely yourself. Don’t try to be outsanding; don’t try to be a success; don’t try to do pictures for others to look at - just please yourself."

bye sweden
spent my last day in sweden until summer walking around town with Michelle and Henrik. we ate lunch and I did some last minute shopping of essentials such as swedish chocolate and candy. it should hold me over for a while! I rarely spent any time in this town over break to be honest. mostly work and slouching on the couch but I’ll miss it a little.. hejdå sweden!
