Someone New


I love the feeling you get when you meet someone new, someone you want to have within your circle of friends. The kind of person you can tell you will get on with for a long time. Its the same feelings that compel you photograph them, to have them in your friends and to have them immortalized in your photographs. Problems arise when they don't want to be photographed.

Alice in Wonderland


Chasing rabbits down rabbit holes in foreign cities isn't the best plan of action. Lost for three hours i shot that rabbit that hobbled down the alley. Alone, cold and lost and i step into the otherworld and the rabbit hole becomes ever more alive. A lone ladder, to where? no where, to the deep blue, to the undercurrents of the Mediterranean sea. Maybe i shouldn't chase rabbits.

Lost Memories


This has confirmed for me so much, there is so much here that has confirmed what i want to do in later life, and what i don't want to do. It has made me so grateful for my life and where i am within it at the moment. The actual photo makes me sad, sad to think of what i once knew, of what it has now become. My idealized memories are shattered into this mess of unhappiness, loneliness and fear all desperately trying to get themselves back together. I wonder if i could of prevented this, or would i just be the same and in desperate need of rescuing. The only problem now is, you cant be rescued unless you want to be.

One thing i think you need to about how much you show. How much do i show? and how much information is read from it?

180 Minutes


Where do i go? I am in a place i dont understand, a place i dont remember. It is here that time has no relevance, nothing is significant because as soon as you enter you will leave, but you would of left just that little bit older.

Masquerade


Theres something liberating about masks, for a fraction of your day you get to be someone else. For that seemingly inconsequential moment you have the chance to do something you are unable to do in every day life and that is experience life outside of your skin.

Mechanical Separation


Its funny the times you chose to take a photograph, to choose to put a machine between you and your subject. Although the machine separates me from them and conceals my face, the act brings me closer to them. I am immortalizing them in my collection, to take and to treasure their image with a kiss from the shutter.

Hazy Days


Hot summer days spent on the beach, stood atop the cliff here the sun and wind compete to feel the touch of skin. These hazy days spent with a camera round my neck is how can only hope i spent my days in the future.

Ginger Mirror


When you look in the mirror who do you see? do you see yourself or just a reflection. I cant help but see myself when i look in this mirror, one of my dearest and closest friends and it is quite possible that he lives inside my head.

Lost In Oblivion


There is a point when you know you should stop, the point that you have been to before and know the consequences of crossing. Something keeps you going and is ever pushing, this force drives you over the edge into oblivion where you give a front row screening of your insides
