About Me

Like everyone, I seem to get writer's block when talking about myself...
Still living in Sheffield (pretty much all my life), with no pressing desire to leave. Currently trying desperately to re-awaken my creative side, as my imagination seems to have stagnated and atrophied away to nothing in recent years.
I take a lot of photos, ( link to my photo collection )in the forsaken hope that if I get enough practise I may become good at it. Results so far are mixed:I'm quiet by nature, and therefore like pretending to be an arrogant, egotisical narcissist. 'Cos it's fun!
