TM: I don't think taxi driver is a typical kid's dream. That's great though.
Do you think driving a taxi is some people's dream or do you think that's the kind of occupation you go into out of neccessity?

AK: Documentation of whats around.

AK: I guess inspirations are emotions, whether I get them from my lover or my sister or a dog or a movie or a rainy day or a plastic comb.

TM: What makes you want to take a picture, does composition have a role to play or is it just an urge to capture something?

TM: Do you think that photography as a medium is loosing it's charm now that everyone is a photographer?

Sometimes I feel like I have already seen all the photos that can be taken, but at the same time it still gives me emotions.
