Society Works
I was lucky enough to meet KiemTang a.k.a. Society Works who was passing through our little metropolis the past few days.
‘Tis the season……
Professor David Nutt of the University of Bristol is one of my new heroes. Controversially (exactly to who I don’t quite understand) together with a team of highly respected experts he drew up a new classification system for drugs based on “harm”, the rankings placed Alcohol far above Ecstacy, causing outrage in middle England. That…
Self service beer machine

John Storey – Venue Magazine Article
My Father, John Storey (Pictured above) is a damn fine human being, a man who taught me what integrity means and made it forever impossible for me to look at oil paintings of countryside scenes without slipping into a boredom induced coma, thanks to his vain attempts to educate me in the arts as a…
Geek up your ass gently (?)
A few weeks ago I wrote a post about a band, GEEKS, playing outside Shibuya station who made me stop and listen, a rare occurance indeed.
I contacted them after to tell them about my blog post and several emails later I was invited to the last gig of their recent Japanese tour.

I believe in magic – Outtake
On the night I shot the “I believe in magic (pt2)” picture I also shot some natural light shots of the model Nami. This was one of my favorites, something about the serious look in her eyes.

The astute among you will have noticed a slight change in the blog layout and feel, the even more astute will have noticed a change in the address.
I believe in magic (pt2)
Another shot from my series “I believe in magic”. (see another HERE) This time thanks goes to the model, the lovely Nami, who I will miss a lot when she leaves for Canada at the end of the week.

2 years ago…….pt.2 -special bonus edition
A special bonus edition of ‘from the archives pictures’, this time from two years ago, September 2007.
I’m increasingly interested in the progression of my own work (those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it) and the subconcious threads that run through a persons work, only noticable upon reflection some time later.
It is also a good excuse to publish some pictures that would otherwise not see the light of day.
