From the Mouth of Taco Jim

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009 by Fuzz

This is a great quote from my friend, the highly successful photographer/artist, Taco Jim:

I look at thousands of images every week. I see so much repetition of ideas and poses and locations that it depresses me. Then I see that same repetition in my own work, and it inspires me… inspires me to erase everything and start again in the opposite direction.

He’s a brilliant taco, that Jim.
