We tried to go to Christchurch Tank Museum in the summer and it rained every day, so we went to Winchester and it just pissed it down.

My girlfriend doesn’t enjoy being photographed by me. Its sometimes an issue when she thinks she looks ugly in a picture and I feel the opposite.

This is from our last meal on our last day in Paris this August. I think she looks stunning. I can see in her eyes the journey she’s made since Ive known her and it adds to her beauty. This is Fuji 400 on my Contax G2.

Another shoot from my little black dress project. This is just a grabbed JPEG. Am still editing and doing post. I have about 1200 images of 4 girls to work through. Yikes!!!

Paris by night. Took CJ away for a romantic 4 day break. Didn’t really shoot much, but ate and drank and had a nice time.

A fashion shoot the other day with Rose, Rose races stock cars in New Zealand and was quite the trooper if I may say so. This is just a grabbed Jpeg. I’ve not done post production yet.

‘By the Thames’ 1996

When I was 25 I was dumped by a girl who, despite not really having a lot in common with, My personal circumstances just made me want to cling onto her for dear life.

My father had died in 1994 and my mother was terminally ill and I tried to grip and hold & hang onto this….pretty attractive but ultimately rather cold and impersonal creature. I think it was the only time in my life I’ve ever been completely irrational about anyone. She wasn’t a terrible person, but not interested in me and had I not been dealing with bereavement I’d have moved on with far more aplomb Im sure.

I found this old college scan from when I first started photography and it sadly shows how utterly fucked up both myself and my perspective were.

Oh well… time moved on…Thankfully. I like the naivety of this photo…. at the time I thought I was a fucking poet…Jesus!

CJ came to visit, she looks more beautiful than ever.
