“Portraiture of those kinds of people who are, I don’t want to say are on the edge or fringe of society, but I want to give the sense that they are somehow alienated from the mainstream either by their own view of themselves or by society’s view of them… Summer’s a great time because I get to work with all the carnivals and fairs. A lot of the people who work those things are sort of in that category. They are the people for whom a nine-to-five job and a shirt and tie is an anathema to a sense of liberty or internal personal freedom that they feel they need to express themselves. They suffer because of that.”
