"I was always interested in drawing and painting. I enrolled in college to study painting. But I didn't have any livelihood when I graduated. My mother died very young, and I didn't have any home, so I had to find a way to earn a living.

So I went and did a degree in photography, and then after that I could go out and get paid for work. For portraits, things like that."

Yet before, everything was in a fog.”
