About Me


Write and direct short films, photography, writing .... life is far too interesting to not seek your passions. I didn't say I was any good at anything so don't blame me if you don't like it! There is no accounting for taste is there after all. If nothing ever comes of effort then at least I've done the things I love.Wayward and unorthodox, deviance should never be seen as a bad thing. Difference is perhaps the most important thing in anyone. Life should be one great surprise. Boo!
The carrierbagman thing is a long story and really not that interesting.
Love Light and Peace, Tim .....
LIFE
Beyond indifference and
That daily preoccupation,
Is a place where colour
And smell and touch
Fracture into the world
A magnificence
That burst through suffering,
Splashes light onto our drab canvas.
Each smiling splatter
Stains a permanent delight,
Covering the unrelenting
Distress and anguish
That so easily consume
But that you pass through.

And in the end
Life spirals back round
To meet life.
On each turn,
At every instant
You stop for a moment,
On this eternal helter-skelter,
Look out,
And beam at how exquisite
The journey is.
