Photo by @anna.aicher // I honestly believe that every interaction shapes us. We are social creatures, and by that measure, infinitely influenced by the people we come in contact with. Most are imperceptible changes and don't alter our course too much. But there are some who do. Andrew Phelps @andrew_phelps_buffet is one. I met him 22 years ago in Salzburg Austria as my first photography instructor. From my book:

'I like Andrew immediately. He is “tall, dark, and handsome” and a bit lanky, and I notice his cheekbones because I always do. He is angular and has sharp features and short, messy hair that is fine, but not thinning. His eyes are framed by thin lines as if he’s been squinting his whole life, looking for things that no one else sees.

Andrew is a fine art photographer, but I will always wonder if his “art” images are more honest than my journalism. They are complex and simple and mysterious because they seem to be at battle with themselves and reflect a deep understanding of photographic principle and theory which I know nothing about. For me, photography is literal and impulsive, like I am trying to catch moments falling past me. But his images are deliberate and crafted and made, not taken, and that is my first lesson. Andrew changes everything.'

If you are someone who's enjoyed or been impacted by my photographs, thank Andrew. He was the person who inspired me and told me to walk that path. I am forever grateful. #thecolorofeverything
