It's always incredibly flattering to find out that a young person likes my work. But when the young person is as talented as Erik Bernskiold, it's a true honor!! When Erik emailed to say that he wanted to interview me, I was speechless (yes, me!). I know, I know I can talk for hours but that's not the same as answering questions about myself!!!

One of my favorite portraits was on display in the MPIX booth during Photoshop World in Orlando, Florida. It was great fun meeting John and the MPIX crew! They are all incredibly nice and have a great sense of humor! I was hugely flattered that they contacted me!!

Printed on 30" x 20" canvas, with a gallery wrap, Mainly Kidz made quite an impression. I was stunned to see such dead-on, perfect color!! I thought for sure some of the highlights would be out of gamut but the deadline was wicked-tight and MPIX handled it beautifully!! That's Scott Kelby's print right next to mine!
