Andrew Williams lives in Berkeley, California, where he teaches and writes about photography. And struggles “to make good photographs while having a passionate affair with my wife and sharing in the raising of our two daughters. I also lead a rather Jekyll and Hyde existence bouncing back and forth between my role as a lecturer in the School of Business Administration at U.C. Berkeley and as a photographer. Sometimes I can’t tell Jekyll from Hyde. That, of course, is the point, isn’t it? We are our contradictions.”
