ABOUT ME

I analyse networks, sing real loud and cook real good.

I like learning and reading and writing and talking.

I photograh colourful funny sad and happy things...

I sing when I'm happy and am silent when I'm angry.

I enjoy talks into the night with good company, good music, good wine ("good" depends on the country... anything that doesn't take your innards out tends to be fine), candles and 1/2 cigarettes

I travel through food and coffee, photographs and talking. I cook for people i care about.
When all else fails i smile alot, use my hands/face/arms and hope for the best

PHILOSOPHY

It changes.
[an extract]
Like a river never flows twice, neither do I. Fundaments and bases ever shifting- this ‘unbearable lightness of being’.
For all the strutting and philosophising on the stage, this player’s play will only be played once.

And so we write.
Characters in perpetual search of an author. In search of actors to act out those facets of our own play that were lost on ourselves. Writing out those wrongs we let slip by the first time. The last time. Those things we let slip by forever.
And so carpe diem. Seize the day as it is an almost extinct species.

And so we travel. And so we speak. And so we are.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I watched a woman, who had fought an awful regime and its twisted minions for almost all her life, re-live the moment when she relised the war had ended.
The moment she relaised that she could bury the plastic gun she had been carrying around with herself since she was 11.
