“The hard part is actually figuring out how to get that idea, compress it down into its essence and express it in a way that anybody could understand it. That’s the challenge for me. People kept on suggesting other people I should photograph or other terms; if I was to check my email, in the last day I probably got five more. I think there is a tremendous thirst that people have for information, and there was no real centralized place where all these ideas were being disseminated. That was really the impetus behind the project.”
