Tyler Shields Interview!

Sigh... I would love to work with Mr Shields some day, one day, any day really. 

Here's a small little interview I did with the ever so amazing photographer Tyler Shields. Not only is he a photographer but he's also a director. For instance he's the guy behind the music video "Ride" by the Cary Brothers. (great song btw)

Oh and don't forget to check out his web site for more great pictures.

Q&A with Tyler Shields;

It was something I fell into just needed to show people the way I saw thigns

Someone who doesn't do the samething over and over again and people who take chances

I think they all have a purpose and when used right they can both be great
