Where Does Christopher Michel Say He Is Happiest?

On Visual Revolutionary, Christopher Michel says he is happiest in faraway places, capturing stories. He traces that to a childhood on the move. He felt like an outsider in each new town, and he thinks a lot of photographers are outsiders who watch the world rather than settle in it.

He also comes from an artistic family. His mother is an artist, and her father was a painter and a professor at the University of Michigan. Michel calls himself a product of genetics and environment. As a child his creativity went into programming, on machines like a TRS-80, which later helped him start internet companies.
