About Me

Photographer :: Graphic Designer :: Artist

Music, and Reggae in particular, has had a tremendous influence on my art and life over the years. At a very early age, I decided that I wanted to document what I could of musicians and the music in my time. I want to give something back to the artists by helping to promote their music through the use of photography, multimedia and art while preserving the images for future generations.
Massive thanks and respect to all the singers and players of instruments who have played on the soundtrack of my life.

for "Love Is My Religion", BIG UP Ziggy! : 2006

Be a voice and ignite the spark in those around you and beyond.
This concerns all Human Beings.

We are human beings. It is time for us to recognize that we are human beings.
As human beings, we have intelligence and it is through this intelligence that we manifest our power.
As human beings, how we use our intelligence to perceive reality dictates how we will use the power of our intelligence.
As human beings, we have a responsibility to use the power of our intelligence clearly and coherently.
As human beings, we find ourselves in a dimensional reality where we feel powerless to deal with the various situations we find ourselves in.
As human beings, it is time to take responsibility for the power of our intelligence and use the power of our intelligence to think clearly and coherently and create solutions to the problems we are confronted with.
Simply put, as human beings, we are asking the human beings to think.
