In terms of other photographers, my main inspiration is Minor White. Just a handful of his images allowed me to see the way boundaries and preconceptions could be broken by adopting not only new ways to view a subject but subject matter I hadn't even considered. I'll let others decide if on occasion, my work is similar in any way or even approaches his level of artistry.
