About Me

me: hmm im Northern, but living in London these days, Cricklewooood!! - its lovely round here (mostly) - for fun i love to take photos - I have always wanted to do this - just got a film camera that im trying to learn (help!) and got a d-slr too, shooting mainly skating but need to take time to just go out and shoot! I want to shoot people. Music is something that takes a chunk of my time up - i love rock/emo/punk (or whatever you call a singer, drummer, bass, and guitarist this week) stuff live - , i love live shows - i used to DJ a few clubs and bars - but felt bad that i was stopping people from working,as i dont need to do it for a living and had some guilt trips from peeps who needed the money to eat - but i love my turntables and play a mix of hiphop(not rap) funk/soul and mellow breaks - like Aim and stuff like that. Getting back in to the turntables this winter, the triple deck set threat is banging, need to some help with the drum machine and sampler tho......Travel is a huge part of my life too - i dont get much time off work, so when i do i try to make sure im out of the country - been away a lot couple of years, hit up Chicago,Milan,Madrid,Prague,Bolognia,Miami,Lisbon,Boston,New York, GranCanaira, Marseille, Tampa - most a couple of times, its important to me to see cultures happening and skate new spots - go to the galleries around europe and stuff - the world is amazing and i want to touch as much of it as i can, while i can.ok - that wasnt too painful!

My Interests
