Madness To Creation: If you could talk to one person for an hour alive or dead who would it be?
Ian: If I could talk to anyone alive or dead for one hour, I’d choose Fred Rogers.
Madness To Creation: What is so important about mental health awareness and something you do to help manage stress or when times get tough?
Ian: My opinion on mental health awareness is that people need to understand that social media does not accurately reflect real life. You absolutely should not compare your life to the lives of others as you see it on social media. When I’m stressed or feeling down, I bury myself in my work to distract from everything else.
Madness To Creation: Plug anything you want to plug!
Ian: Follow me on Instagram and Twitter @3CountPhoto for concert, pro wrestling and MMA photography.
