Personal Spiritual Photographer Interview With Dana Whitford
Q: Have you ever thought about or actually stopped doing photography? What were the circumstances?
A: I started a photography business. it was the worst thing I’ve ever done. It was a misery. Then my camera broke. Then I quit. After some personal struggles, support from friends and family, I was ready to return to photography as a hobby.

Interview With Marty Haviik Of Arizona Thunder Photography
Q: What does photography mean to you?
A: Becoming a photographer began, for me, as a simple hobby, turning into something that’s almost overtaken my soul. It seems like the more I photograph, the more in-tune with the world I become: colors are a brighter, shadows are a deeper, the way light falls on an object keeps me mesmerized.
The options become endless – it’s not about how to take a photograph, but how to narrow the choices down to a few. I believe more importantly the pictures speak for themselves and I strive to provide the best unique individual sessions.

Personal Interview With Photographer Sphynx
Q: Do you like to talk about yourself or your pictures? If yes, about what aspects of photography? If no, why?
A: The most I can really say about my work, is that it is in the eye of the beholder. What I have to say about the work really does not mean anything.
My expression is implicit, but it is vastly over shadowed and over powered by the reaction you get as a member of the audience.
And if any image of me you receive is that only which you perceive. So as I’ve painted myself into a corner, I will maintain that words are utterly worthless in this regard.

tool for any creative person.
Q: Do you like to talk about yourself or your pictures? If yes, about what aspects of photography? If no, why?
A: I much prefer to talk about all aspects of my pictures and my photography. It’s probably far more interesting than talking about myself.
