What influenced you to take pictures?

in the very beginning it was the opposite sex. a sex that i was not supposed to touch but allow to shoot (with a camera not a weapon. or maybe it is a weapon)
from a distance.

* some people actually refuse to be photographed for personal reasons.

What are your inspirations?

mostly photos that were done by others in the past. including my photo ID (as a bad example in order to inspire me to move forward)

Who are your favorite photographers?

camera being a means to capture life form in light. and photograph as a media to get a message* across. from an artist to his/her audience. is really a big topic.
i do not have enough knowledge to further elaborate myself.

* suppose it is a message that has meaning(s).

What kind of pictures do you take the most?

at present i am working on my photographic memory of what i see. or when i am being seen. (like right now. with my words. and your eyes) and if i can ever open my brain to print out some visuals. i am still not too sure if there is anything in there that has never been seen before.

i hope i am not disappointing you (or others) too much with my strange answers.
but hey. like you say: you can't please everybody
