I was an economics major, which I enjoyed because I had a good business sense.

Many people who excel are self-taught.

I like form and shape and strength in pictures.

Regardless of whether you speak the language or are familiar with a culture, the picture should hold up.

For me, the most important thing I learned was just honing my eye. I think I had a good eye.

Within two hours of where I live, you have mountains and desert as location. I like the natural elements that abstract into light, texture, shape and shadow.

It's important to let your subjects be themselves.

The education, the cultural awareness, is different in Europe, especially in France, from that in the United States. So I think the public will be much more appreciative of many images.

Even though I didn't get a business degree, I enjoyed learning about economics.

What I particularly liked was that, coming from California and not being involved in the New York scene, I developed my personal way, in my own way, at my own pace.

Generally, the French highly promote culture and the arts, and photography is in their blood.

You would rather face a life without me than to have me choose a life I would not choose for myself.

When someone does something good applaud! You will make two people happy.

Fool! Don't you see now that I could have poisoned you a hundred times had I been able to live without you.

A woman's always younger than a man at equal years.

The biggest opportunity for big companies has come by far in the digitization of internal processes.

Law and technology produce, together, a kind of regulation of creativity we've not seen before.

The site I landed on feels much more isolated than it really is; it's almost magical. Within its limited radius, there was a whole range of the local ecology.

loves are like empires: when the idea they are founded on crumbles, they, too, fade away.

There are people who like just ordinary comedy fun, and making mistakes - which I do easily - and then there are people who like the falling over.

It's my hope to inspire kids around the world to want to be tech stars in stem subjects.
