Fast forward to the end for this quote:

I think that the kind of photographers that we need in the future are the photographers that are doing cutting edge work instead of traditional photojournalism….I’ve been looking for something to describe what I like to do. I call it personal documentary. It’s serious work it is making a statement about the world, but it’s making a statement with a very personal point of view.

It’s becoming more and more clear to me everyday that there’s such a saturation of photography in our world today that if you want your work to shine it better showcase who you are as a person and how you see things.

Just one more reason to be shooting for yourself.
