She wrote “I just saw your interview on the Simple Style and some photos on your flickr.I’m very excited to write to you, because the sentence you said indeed touched me :”Photography is the mirror we hold up to see ourselves for better or worse. No matter how difficult, its very important to look into that reflection.” I’m still an university student in Beijing,China, my major is not related to photography or art, but since I got a camera this summer, photography opened another door in my life. Now I’m doing my first self assigned project “The mirror and I “, I hope to use a mirror as a tool to help the subjects be sincere to me– whose life has intersection with them, and then to explore the relationship between they and I which can let me know more about myself and deeper about the relation among human beings.”

Sophie – Please excuse Billy, he is from a small town in east Texas. He will do better next time…

Billy – For this particular series I used a Nikon D700 with a 14-24mm 2.8 and a 35mm 1.4, both Nikkor lenses. I love the feel and texture the Nikon gives the images. Also, it was wonderful shooting in Arizona. I was about halfway between Phoenix and Tucson when I found all these spectacular locations. Of course I think you may know how beautiful Arizona can be! Thank you for the question.
