I rarely do TFCD any more but if you think you're really special please contact me, I'm friendly and I don't bite.
This is my blog, it's mostly about photography or the photographs I've taken.

My portraiture has been exhibited fairly widely in Europe (including a one man show at the Photographers Gallery in London, and inclusion in 'How We Are' show at Tate Britain, 2007 - their first ever photography show).
My work can be seen in the following books, if you're minded to comment, feel free.
