Aloha minions! I'm Chris! I'm a lowly student, live in central Auckland, and am also a freelance photographer... check out my pics and buy some please!See my complete gallery here.
I'm in my fourth year at UoA, studying Film and Television, and Geography. I'm into music (duh), keeping mainly to ska, punk, surf and indie. I also like drum n bass, and metal (but not nu-metal, thats gank as).

I'm into various forms of art... other than the obvious, film making, photography, screen printing, stencil art. Especially love t-shirts!I love Soviet kitsch, general Russian or Japanese cultural things, post apocalyptic stories, war films, online games, spamming forums, writing bitchy emails to people and moonlit beaches. I want to be a high school media and photography teacher some day (just as a hobby), but I also want to make documentaries which challenge people to think and also celebrate the awesomeness of every day people, and show that ordinary people... aren't always that ordinary.

I believe in freedom of mind and freedom of expression, I support the animal rights movement and seek to end the hierarchical structures which have built themselves upon the blood of modern society. I study geography at university and am interested in urban geographic patterns, especially gentrification, sprawl, urban pollution and adaptation of societies in increasingly growing cities. I ride bikes or skateboard everywhere, I'm strongly against car use where other forms of transport could be used. I think if we are to survive then we need to change the way we live, especially how we see and use our urban landscapes. I consider myself an anarchist, I hope to see significant change in my lifetime towards a fair and just society truly based on freedom and equality.Religiously I consider myself a Buddhist, but I'm highly open to changing my opinion on this, I don't think anyone should have concrete views, stagnation leads to ignorance, so I like it when people ask me about and challenge my world view.
