raving my tits off, djing and collecting classic vinyls, pirate/independent radio, raw photography, playing football, watchin football, especially the mighty spurs, football culture, football stadiums and football history, london, it's music mad culture of origination and progression, other cool cities and countries of course, meeting outernational peoples and visiting them, eating, cooking, cycling, people, catching jokes, life, people watchin, cloud watching, and trying to understand what the fuck is going on in the world and in my own mad head. Oh yeah,,,,and of course, something without which we would be nowhere,,,,,LOVE!!
Music
Straight up junglist first and foremost but love all the various sounds of the uk underground; from the acid house tunes of the late 80's (original vibes!!) through to hardcore, jungle and drum n bass in all its various permutations.
Early 1980's to late 1990's US Hip Hop, bit of UK and french hip hop, Grime, dirty funky house, Raregroove, soul, old skool reggae, lovers rock, electro and sometimes a bit of swiss yodelling tickles my fancy(?!),,,,and so the list goes on and on, good music is good music innit?? But i have to say that really nothing makes me wanna jump up high then get down low like the Jungle DnB sound,,, BROCK OUT MAAAN!!!
Movies
How long u got????
Forget it, u no what, i'll just say that the film that has had the biggest influence on me and my photography without a doubt is the 1995 french film 'La Haine'.
Despite the fact i am too retarded to speak french that film is shot like a dream yet RAW to the core.
Television
South park, simpsons, anything by armando ianucci and chris morris, anything by ricky gervais, peep show, league of gentlemen, mighty boosh, phonejacker
Match of the day, Champions League.
The weather forecast even though it's usually shite.
Good documentaries, love anything educational, especially wildlife and natural world stuff.(bit of a secret geek but don't tell anyone)
Books
don't read enough really, certainly haven't read a work of fiction in years but the last one i did read i really enjoyed, that was called The Scholar by Courttia Newland, it's a bit like a london version of La Haine set during the height of the ragga jungle years of 94-95.
It's all about non fiction for me tho, graffiti books from around the world, music books, especially 'All Crews' by Brian Belle Fortune, and of course photography books. And BELEIVE me when i tell you that i will have NUFF of my own books published in my lifetime.

About me:
Freelance Photographer since 2004.
JUNGLIST!!!!!
My inspiration is London; the people, the music and the cultural history. For about 4 years i have spent my spare time cycling round london and taking photos of whatever catches my eye, mostly housing blocks, broken windows, puddles, reflections, trains, parks, views, graf, sunsets etc.
In that time i have put up 3 exhibitions in London and 1 in Paris and set up in business as 'RAWIMAGES' with a little help from the Princes Trust.
So for everyone out there in myspace land who needs a photographer or some images for their next album cover or whatever, come check me yeah, it would be a pleasure. Nice 1
