I grew up in Southern Elmhurst, which is just a bike ride from Glendale.

Yeah, but there's something magical about being in a city.

Like Chicago shares this with maybe New Jersey.

In that we're not New York City.

We are not the king.

We're second rate.

And because you're second rate, you're focused on what is...

I was always into art since I was...

Since I was walking, basically.

And at 14, I discovered photography.

My dad had a camera in his bottom drawer under the stereo.

I said, hey, can I borrow that?

He goes, yeah, sure, go ahead.

So I got some film and I started playing around.

And I just loved how photography captured...

You know, it was like a scientific document.

Like if I take a photo of you today, that's what you look like on this day.

It's almost a scientific representation of who you are.

But then if you put a beautiful backdrop or certain lighting or whatever, then you're stylizing it.

So it's a little bit of art mixed with science.
