About me:

At times, I'm a photographer, musician and web designer who seems to be spending more and more time online, but is trying to maintain a tenuous link to a life offline...and is failing slowly...

I've been on MySpace for just over two years now, and I have to say it owns me. Most of my spare time is now spent taking pictures of bands or just out and about with my camera (cos I love it so..). If any bands would like any live or promo pictures taking, get in touch via the mail address further down. This also applies to anyone who would like any pictures taking of them for whatever purpose they want (MySpace or other networking/profile site, personal photos just for themselves...anything). I want to shoot more portraiture and if you've spoken to me about it, either on MSN or in person, then you'll have more of an idea about what sort of things I like. But then you only have to look at my profile to know really (fetish / erotica / shibari-nawa / kinbaku-bi / pvc / rubber / leather). I'd like to shoot more of the ropework I'm learning (want to go further than the basic ties I know up to now... kikkou/shinju/karada etc), but obviously I need another person for that, so if that appeals, then get in touch (you must be over 18 for legal purposes as they will be posted online). Basically I'll shoot anything your sick little minds can come up with... the more out there the better really, so give it your best shot, but please give credit to me wherever you use them and inform me of any online publication...

On the web design front, I've made sites for a couple of local businesses and bands, but at the moment I'm concentrating on adding content to my own site just now (www.angrypixel.co.uk). Anything I have built is completely compliant with all web standards as regards accessibility law for sites built now and the forseeable future. If you can read this (in as much as you're on my friends list), then you may have noticed my custom layout, including contact table, background and online now icon, which I made myself. More content is being made, but there's plenty of graphics available from my site now. The main focus of my site is to promote my photographic work and web design skills, although there are plenty of myspace tables, codes and tutorials for you to copy and paste straight into your page. Now it's up and running, if anyone would like their own layout making from a set of images, or would like to request a set of contact tables from a film, then I'll see what I can do about it. I've already contacted a couple of artists that are on my friends list to make some of their art into contact tables. If this applies to you, then get in touch, as it'll be a nice bit of advertising for us both. Currently I'm trying to learn PHP with the aim of making a myspace layout generator, so that my site will have everything to be able to pimp out your profile how you like it, so anyone with any tips about PHP or that particular project, please help me out with it if you can, it'll make it quicker for me in the long run.

When I'm not busy working on fun stuff for myself, I'll be found working on my college work, although I've now finished the course I was on and have gained my ECDL Expert certificate for my trouble (completion of four modules over two years on the ECDL Advanced course). So now I'm at a bit of a loose end as regards learning goes, although there are a couple of courses that I need to find out about, and whether I can get onto them or not in the new year. I'm sure that these qualifications will be of use to me one day.

I live alone with my two cats who look after the running of my house on a day to day basis in as much as they eat, sleep and act stupid. Watching far too much TV is something I've always done, but a nice white wine, some good food and company is by far a better option. I like to watch a lot of films and I spend ages in bed watching DVDs or films on this PC, usually joined by my Manson & Twiggy in a kind of 'When Bagpuss goes to sleep, all his friends go to sleep' scenario.

msn me up some time if you wanna chat:
