What am I doing on the edge of the world?

About Me

Click Here to view my Website (X) www.photoloco.comI'm originally from London, but ended up in LA via Mexico. I take a lot of photos, hopefully ones that are well composed, incite thought and have historical content. I'll drive along the LA river, if it's dry, or watch the water rush by when it's raining. I've had guns shoved in my ribs and been alone in a room with George W. Bush. I've been at a 600 head lesbian pool party, aging strippers' reunions and spent three days on a women's chain gang. Hung out with Hunter S. Thompson, Ken Kesey and Timothy Leary. Among many other bands, I saw Joy Division supporting the Buzzcocks in London when a kid. I used to be room-mates with Beck before he had any recognition and am heading off on tour with Van Halen as their personal photographer. I slept out in the Sinai desert, been caught in a sand storm in the Sahara and rocked the house in an 8.1 earthquake in Mexico City. Traveled Central America during the time of civil wars and hitchhiked around Europe as a teen. I'm a Gemini with a Libra moon and a Cancer rising, born in the year of the Dragon. Now learning to kite surf and have done yoga for 15 years. ..
