About Me

Well, it's been a fairly long time since I changed my profile, so here goes.
Name: Mark Westlake
Age: 20
Location: South London
Contact: Mark(a)Style43.com
Profile update again. I'm currently working as a cleaner in a halls of residence over the summer. You'd have thought it would've been easy as it'd be empty, but it's not easy when you've got 400 European 16-18 year olds there learning English. The smell of Hi-Phos , the feeling of body fat on tiles, and having to sweep up tonnes of cigarette ash doesn't get any better over time.
When I'm not in work, I'm probably either out riding, telling people I'll be out riding in 5 minutes then going out an hour later, or planning out going riding somewhere else. I do do other stuff, but just not as much I guess.
Photography, the main reason I came to London, is still the main reason I'm in London. Having met a couple of 'proper' photography types, it seems like it'd be a lifestyle and job I'd want to get into, so it's giving me more impetus to try and stay with uni and put off the real world for a bit longer.
I could go into more geeky stuff about photography/BMX/creative stuff/whatever, but there's no real point, 'cos if I know you 'cos we're both interested in something, we'll probably talk about it anyway, right?
That's probably about it for now. Check out my work at:
