                    “It always came back to my original belief of having passion. You can’t just generate passion; you’ve really got to have it from the beginning. You need to believe in yourself and in your projects. Very early in your career you need to shoot things that you believe in, things that you really want to shoot [photography].

                                  Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep.

                                    Do not stand at my grave and weep.

                                    I am not there, I do not sleep.

                                    I am the thousand winds that blow.

                                    I am diamond glints on snow.

                                    I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

                                    I am gentle autumnal rain.

                                    When you waken in the morning hush.

                                    I am the soft uplifting rush

                                    Of quiet birds in circled flight.

                                    I am the soft stars that shine at night.

                                    Do not stand at my grave and cry –

                                    I am not there.  I did not die.
