What do you like about this subject?
There are 2 things I love about photography. First, that it means so many different things to so many different people. And second, that it is an outlet for me to express myself.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?
Digital. I want to know all I can about working with photos on my computer.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject
The most controversial aspect that I deal with is digital manipulation. I personally don't see how it is any different from the darkroom tricks that have been going on for years.
