What's going on here?
It's NESOP [the New England School of Photography]. Are you a student here? 'Cause this is my second year. Today was my first day back.

How's the first day treating you?
I'm working on my stuff for my major. I'm studying what I'd like to concentrate on. My first year had a lot of requirements. I like to do documentary and fine arts photography. I don't like commercial stuff.

Any photographers you like?
Andy Goldsworthy. He's a fine arts photographer. He does incredible sculptures. He was using nature as a part of his work. Natural elements, like the wind, affected his work. It would destroy but change his work into a new piece.

Can you name pieces of his you like?
Rivers and Tides.

What's so good about this awesome work?
What's so good about this awesome work? You get to see pieces of the intricate painstaking process of what's happening. You really get to see inside the whole creative processes. You usually don't get that intimate with someone.

What are you working on right now?
I'm hoping to do a documentary with my photography program in Guatemala. You just do a news piece on someone. Someone went to a brothel, like a prostitute. Prostitution is legal there. The film showed people putting on a condom and doctors checking patients for health effects-pretty intense piece. That's what I'm hoping to do. Show people and help people open their minds. That's what I want to do. Help speed up the understanding for people through the world of photography.
