I teach at SVA because I think it's a great school and I love many of the students I meet—I learn a lot from them. There is another reason, though. When I came here eight years ago at the age of 28 to be interviewed for the job by Stephen Frailey, I’d been exhibiting my work for a few years but had little experience teaching photography. I shared my insecurities with Mr. Frailey, and among other things, he asked me, “Can you be generous?' “I can,” I said. “So you can teach, “ he said, “you’ve got the job.” This was one of the more inspiring moments I have had in my professional career, and his words still inspire me today as a teacher.
