Danny agreed to let me interview for this site, even though it's still really new, and I liked reading what he had to say to my questions. So here it is:
Who/what first drew you to photography?
Umm.. I always appreciated Brian Luman’s pictures and his take on them. Then I met Meredith and around the same time I found a bunch of old film cameras in my cabinet. I found 2 or 3 rolls of expired film also. I shot one roll, got it developed found only 2 pictures I liked but that’s when I fell in love with photography.
What inspires you, and your art?
I like to shoot pictures of things that stand out from others. Pictures with great shadows and good lighting, and anything that speaks to me.
What's the best kind of light to shoot in?
I like shooting at night. I think the shadows and the lights add more dynamics to the photo.
Film or digital; and why?
Film. You cant beat the way that film looks.
What do you do, besides take pictures?
I skateboard and I write occasionally. [http://dannyfischer.wordpress.com/]
What direction do you see your art going in the future?
I don’t really know at this point. I would love for it to be in galleries and to make money off of my pictures but I don’t think I am at that level yet.
Do you like living around Cincinnati? Or would you rather be somewhere else?

I hate Cincinnati. I would love to get out of here, go somewhere warm, or a small town somewhere where all of the people are just genuinely good people.
What's one of your best memories from shooting?
Going to Dutchland woods with sparklers and then to the ponds in my neighborhood. That was an amazing night.
What's something that not a lot of people know about you?
I don’t really know. I don’t really hide anything its kind of, “what you see is what you get”, with me. Most people don’t really seem me as being sensitive though which in my opinion I think I am.
Dream vacation?

Dream vacation?
Rural China. The landscape seems so beautiful and the vibe seems so relaxed and peaceful.
Who are some artists (not just photographers, but musicians, writers, etc.) that you look up to?
Lupe Fiasco and XV. Their way with words is insane and their vocabulary is endless. I look up to Brian Luman a lot too, he is an amazing photographer and his outlook on life is inspiring.
What is a typical day in the life of Danny like?
Well, its never boring. Ha it usually starts off with waking up early, flickr/uploading, maybe some school. Skateboarding and/or shooting some pictures. Then staying up ridiculously late for no reason at all.
What's your number one goal for your work right now?
Just to keep progressing, keep shooting, and having fun.
Anything else you want to say?

I’m in the process of writing an autobiography about all of the hardships life has given me and how I’ve overcome terrible problems in life. I'll post a link to my blog. [http://dannyfischer.wordpress.com/]
And here are some of Danny's photographs, which can also be seen on flickr:
