Photography. music, films, art, the eternal act of getting ones shit together! Not so much an interest as something which seems like is never going to happen, which doesn't leave with enough time to read as much as i would like! I can't help myself when it comes to tales of debauchery and the ridiculous/hilarious situations it creates, infinitely interesting, endlessly entertaining!!
