—No

—Again it doesn't matter to me, since I love shooting.

—Apa yang Anda khawatirkan, dan mengapa?

—Couples who are not into the photos aspect of the day. I know some couple hate posing and thus the reason why they don't get into the photos as much as I would like them to be. However, posing is not always required to take great images.

—Apa momen paling mengesankan dalam hidup Anda?

—The day my son was born.

—Jika Anda karakter kartun, buku, atau film, siapakah Anda dan mengapa?

—Haha, I think the best answer would be Iron Man. One of my favorite cartoon/comic character simply because he's into alot of tech stuff.

—My son, he's has very little knowledge and doesn't know alot, but it's for him, I am here working for. I want him to have a better life then what I had.

—Bagaimana Anda mendefinisikan kesuksesan? Bagaimana Anda mengukurnya?

—Success to me is when I can spend more time with my family without worry about money. One way to measure it is by how many days in a week you spend with your family and how many days you spend working.

—Anda lebih senang disukai atau dihormati?

—I rather be liked then respected. Respect means that you can not be down to earth with me, and can not be your self. Liked your more open to me. I rather have people more open to me instead of being respected.

—Saat Anda akan bepergian, apa saja barang yang Anda bawa dan mengapa?

—Everything, it's better to be well prepared then unpreapred. I take almost everything with me, because I do not know what I will run into.
