how much more social photography was

"I picked up a camera to use in gathering raw material for my paintings, but I quickly loved how much more social photography was: I could actually interact with humans on a real-time basis and have a conversation, which doesn't happen with painting."

taught myself everything I know

"Stick with it.  Do your thing.  I dropped out at 16, I never went to art school, and I taught myself everything I know."

be experimental and think outside of the box

"As designers, we go into another world, into the unknown, so it's important to be experimental and think outside of the box.  We've continued to evolve, and photography has now become a huge part of what we do.  I love it because you can capture the world around you, finding and sharing magic in the everyday.  That's what we're about."

we're probably not changing the world

"At the end of the day, we're probably not changing the world with most of the images we're making.  Instead, I think the main opportunity to contribute to the greater good is through the relational aspect of what we do as artists.  We meet and interact with people form all over the world, all the time.  The ability to go beyond the creation of images and to develop a camaraderie with people ... is important.  Those relationships will likely last longer than the typical lifespan of an image."
