"I don’t limit myself. I’m drawn to the sparseness of the West because that’s where I’ve spent most of my life. I lived in New York for a while. I enjoyed my time there, but I would be an outsider writing about it," Taylor stated. "I really like using the camera as a paintbrush, and I just find it’s so rare that you get to see the vastness of this nation," he said. "For the time being, that’s what fascinates me the most." We get it, the Veronica Mars veteran (yes, really) doesn't want to give any definite answer.
