KTR: What is your dream career in photography?
LM: My dream career would probably be to be a photographer/filmer for a pro team, and I'm tryin' to get there right now.
KTR: What's subject(s) do you like to shoot?
LM: I'd probably have to say my favorite subject to shoot is skating by far. To get a picture of them flying through the air, or an awesome stall is just something you can keep forever. Like Jett and Jagger when they become pro ill say, "Wow! I have pictures of Jett and Jagger Eaton when they were kids and training."
KTR: Where can people view your photos?
LM: Well, they can come to me to see them. Or, when I'm finished with my website- gnarbeanies.com - they can look there or ... by a beanie... or try and get sponsored by me if they want.
KTR: Are you looking into a college for photography?
LM: Sort of, my dream is to live in Chicago, so I really want to go to college somewhere in Chicago or near.
KTR: Give us one tip for shooting skateboarding.
LM: Ummm you always have to get the right angle and make the picture look its best.
