About Me

Vermilion Photography

my name is tom. i have a long surname. i live in a cabin/shed/hut (depending on who you ask). someday i'd like to live in a flat, with curtains and a kitchen. for now squalor will suffice.
currently i am mainly listening to sleepy, melancholy music. this is due to the season.
i have a lovely girlfriend, her name is beth. she's very far away right now, which is not so lovely, but it is so.
i also have several lovely friends. all definitely worth saying hello to. most will smile.
i like photography, and all things related. that is what i want to do. photography, not all things related. i would love to published in national geographic.
i work two jobs and study. so i spend a lot of time on trains and little at home. this causes me to be tired, often, but i am allowed to sleep on tuesdays.

Meat Loaf vs Bonnie Tyler

So, I worked out last night, that Bonnie Tyler is in fact a female version of Meat Loaf.A clone born of Mr Loaf's sweat.

Magnolia Electric Co.

Very, very few bands affect me in the same way as Magnolia Electric Co.Every time I hear one of their songs my heart skips a beat and the melancholy sets in.Beautiful music.
