About Me

I am an amatuer photographer who is using MySpace to further pimp my product among the e-literati in the early years of the 21st Century. My main gallery page is here if you want to look at the rest of my stuff.Lately I've been taking photos of up-and-coming bands in the Edinburgh and Lothians regions. If you're a band looking for some photos for a website, posters or sleeve-art then have a look at the stuff I've done and invite me along to your gig! If you just want shots for websites etc, then I'll take them for free (although a free ticket to the gig would be a nice touch). If you want prints done then I'll only charge cost price.

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

Photography, football, good food, wine, sociable beer-drinking in pubs where a conversation isn't an effort, playing the guitar badly and trying to sing.

I'd like to meet:

People who don't mind having a camera pointed at them all the time.
Oh yeah, and people who wish they could change the title of this section to "Whom".

Music:

Mostly rock, but most guitar music holds an interest. I can happily listen to almost anything, with the exceptions of nosebleed-inducing house/techno and prog jazz.

Movies:

Dogma, The Empire Strikes Back, Chasing Amy, Grosse Pointe Blank, It's A Wonderful Life, Godfather, Godfather II, The Usual Suspects, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, The Sting, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Cool Hand Luke, The Princess Bride, Trainspotting, Groundhog Day, All The President's Men

Television:

Well, the West Wing was the only show I really got into for years. However, I've now seen seasons 1&2 of 24 and working on season 3. The Simpsons and Family Guy help keep my sense of humour in shape. House is starting to reel me in, in the post-Bartlet vacuum.

Books:

Christopher Brookmyre is my latest fad; I've been catching up on his back catalogue. Terry Pratchett is an old favourite. Neil Gaiman satisfies my darker appetites. If I'm after a good old mystery, I turn to Harlan Coben. Tolkien started it all and Rowling has rejuvenated my love of the fantasy genre.

Heroes:

Congratulations, you are the personification of all that is evil. Your hobbies include killing people, walks by the lake and torture. But hey, when you're this powerful, who needs friends?

Top Rated Songs

I was fiddling around with iTunes, and produced a list of my top rated songs. There are too many to make even a double-album size playlist, so I've picked a few and made a playlist and now I'm Blogg...

Harry Potter 7 o_0

So, I had a series of dreams last night, the dreams that jump randomly from one topic to the next.  The one consistent thread throughout was that I had just obtained a (probably illegal, but this...
