Interests

  • General

    My biggest interests are music, photography and basketball, so any combination of those three and i'm pretty happy!

    Other major interests are Tikis and Polynesian culture, surfing and surf culture, carnival and samba, the whole 50's rockabilly retro thing including pin-up art from around that era (especially Gil Elvgren) and burlesque of course plus pretty much anything else that's creative in some way, including my own dodgy attempts at painting.

  • Movies

    Wide taste in movies from Hollywood blockbusters to Arthouse including True Romance, Goodfellas, Leon, Pulp Fiction, Desperado, From Dusk Till Dawn, Endless Summer, Big Wednesday, 8 Women, Nathalie, The Killer, A Better Tomorrow, Malena, La Seconda Moglie etc. Also, pretty much anything from the 40's, 50's and 60's is usually worth a watch.
  • Television

    Green Wing, Scrubs, Lost, Charmed, Desperate Housewives, The O.C., Neighbours etc. From times gone by, Twin Peaks and Northern Exposure are standouts.
  • Books

    Not much time for reading these days, but if there was i'd be reading trashy 50's detective novels (especially by Mickey Spillane) or any basketball related biographies. Failing that anything by Carl Hiassen, Lawrence Block or Bill Bryson.
  • Heroes

    GOOD people!

About me:



Ideally i'd spend my life following summer around the world. Some of you have taken this for something that I actually do, sadly it isn't, it's my ideal and the reality is very different.

If I actually had a life aim it would be to just enjoy the limited time we're here as much as possible, to not take anything for granted and to appreciate all the simple things life has to offer, in short, to enjoy life!!!

At present I specialise in live music photography but I am also interested in covering other events along with portrait/model photography.

If that sounds like something we can work together on you should get in contact.

You should be aware that i'm completely untrained as a photographer so everything you see here and on my main Flickr site is a combination of natural talent and good luck, it tends to work pretty well for me.
