My Bio
I'm a photographer, mostly art and documentary!
I studied photography for a while in the late 90's and learned a lot about the technical side. Having worked as a life model since October 1991, this has helped me see the art in photography. I've gradually learned what interests me as subject matter. Sometimes this means working on long tern projects and ideas, other times it means single images that gradually come together as a theme.
Due to my work as a life model the human figure in all art is important to me. I use my own body in photographs, sometimes as straight forward art work, but also in very personal images that convey feelings i may have, or have had in the past. In these cases the nude figure often represents vulnerability, and perhaps the helplessness we can fell at times in our lives.

Current Residence: Derby, UK

thanks for the fav, my friend! :)
My pleasure as always :D
Dude, all your comments and notes really make me want to meet you and have many honest, thought-provoking, and meaningful conversations with you.
I very much hope that one day we can make it happen. If i had the money i'd pay your fare to come over. And if i ever make it over to the USA, and if they let me in.....then i'd be heading over to see you. It'd be wonderful to do a bit of traveling with you, either here, or there. I bet we'd talk at least as much as i do with Micah ;-)
:hug::tighthug:
It's okay. :) One of these days I'm going to ask my dad if we can take a family trip to London, or I could go visit you when I'm in college. I would, like, hide... then attack you from behind with a humongous glomp going "PT!!!!! AHH!!" :glomp:
If you made it to London you'd have to come up for a couple of days to see my beautiful countryside :D and if not, then i'd have to pop down to Londinium to see yooooooo :D

And if you attack me with a humongous glomp, i'll have to defend myself with a huge hug :tighthug:
Hey, do you know of any other sites where I can display my work? :huggle:
