Taking photos in the streets is one of my favorite places to be. I often seek out people and places that stand in contrast to mainstream culture. It brings me sense of completeness to click the shutter and capture an image that tells a story of someone living on the edge.

If you have an hour to kill and you want to be enlightened by two masters of their craft, then check out this interview by Charlie Rose of Henri Cartier-Bresson. Bresson is a photographer who inspires me greatly — his way of seeing has taught me much about why I shoot. Charlie Rose is someone I consider to be a master of the art of interviewing — and this is a great example of how to do it — enjoy!
