I focus on joy rather than happiness. For me, joy sustains; happiness is fleeting. If you’re able to enjoy the process, that will get you through the difficulties.

Photography satisfies those things, and it’s something I still do for fun and for free in certain circumstances. Read more>>

I love being able to transform others into the person they’ve imagined in their head, wether it’s with an edgy hair cut or a bright, vivid color.
