About Me

Seeing life through a camera lens makes me see the world differently.body{ background-color:999999; background-image:url(http://www.lomography.com/0001/fotos/p3 00704/0b60a302e8d736d0/UL_828496_11132011531_l.jpg); background-position:Top Left; background-attachment:fixed; background-repeat:repeat; } Table, Td{ background-color:transparent; } table table table{ width:100%; background-color:0066FF; } table table table table{ width:auto; } body, div, p, strong, td, .text, .blacktext10, .blacktext12, a.searchlinkSmall, a.searchlinkSmall:link, a.searchlinkSmall:visited{ color:000000; font-weight:normal; font-style:normal; font-family:Times New Roman, verdana, arial, sans-serif; } .orangetext15, .lightbluetext8, .whitetext12, .nametext, .btext, .redtext, .redbtext{ color:CC0000; font-weight:normal; font-style:normal; }

My Interests

Life and all it's got to throw at me, photography and travel.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone with an open mind, a love of people, a love of music, a love of art and most importantly a love of life... ..flashticker2413029 height=375 width=500 classid=clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000 ..

Music:

Hip-hop, house, break beats, rock, classical, jazz......anything but pop.

Movies:

"The Lord of the Ring" series, Apocolypse Now, The Usual Suspects, Trainspotting, Platoon....the list is huge and would take far too long.

Television:

Some good old British comedy....oh for a dose of Ali. G, Borat, Vic and Bob...

Books:

Anything and everything. If I can learn from it I'll read it.

Heroes:

Number 1 are real people, my friends, guys and girls who are all anything but ordinary. They all give me strength, lighten my life and make everything worth while. In alphabetical order, Dicky, Finn, Ken, Paule, Shigeo, Shiz and Stoo. Number 2 are photographers, those who see life as it is and make it something that bit more special, all recording a bit of history in the process, particuarly Daido Moriyama, Robert Frank and Anton Corbjin. Then there are the people I've met who have faced unimaginable suffering yet never complain. The real heroes are those the world usually never see, open your eyes and see them everywhere.

Bullying in Japan

Due to human nature some things are universal. Something that has been getting a lot of media attention in Japan of late is bullying. True, bullying is universal, but here in Japan it seems to be a in...

Bring on the next 5 years

Today marks 5 years in Japan for me. 1/6 of my entire life. Perhaps 1/2 of my life as an adult so far.   The day I arrived was much like today. Hot and muggy, the humidity made it feel like even...

What different worlds we live in.

It's funny how our minds work sometimes. A word or gesture can set off a memory and take your mind off somewhere else, somewhere from your past, somewhere you might smile at remembering or somewhere t...

The life of a refugee

Life in the refugee camps in Iraq is hard. Many of the people I met had been moved from other refugee camps when the security situation had worsened, people had been killed and the safest option had b...

What would you tell them?

I move quickly throught the dark wet streets. It's safer to walk around after dark. SAFER to walk around, not safe. This is Iraq, no-where is safe. There's upwards of 40 kidnappings a day. This is my ...
