I never took many pills in my life – vitamins only, I think – until my open heart surgery. Then I had to get a pill case. The case sits upon the mantel and it’s organized by days – morning and evening.

I never thought of it as beautiful until I saw the morning sunshine on it and light it up with the window behind it.

My theory of photography is that everything is beautiful, the challenge is to see it and capture it. For me, still lifes are about life, real life, not just fruit in a bowl.
