It was elucidating to delve into his thoughtful queries. Having him write so eloquently about my endeavors was the icing on the cake, and the interview quickly became a permanent component of my press kit.”
“It was such an honor and a privilege to be interviewed by Michael for Catalyst. Michael has such a breadth and depth of understanding and appreciation for the photographic community, and that’s reflected in the thoughtful and nuanced way he approached our interview. His support of photographers and photography is such a gift to the community.”
“Being a fellow writer and photographer, working with Michael was an honor and joy. Not only is he a terrific writer, he stands out from the pack as an interviewer by approaching conversations from the view of an artist rather than that of a journalist, making his articles rise above from the rest. Thank you for an incredible interview.”
