CURRENT MISSION

See, feel, create, live.

ABOUT ME

I'm a freelance photographer in Glasgow, Scotland. My circumstances are pretty unusual: my job is demanding and unpredictable, and sometimes I'm lucky enough that it takes me on travels. I'm obsessed with taking photographs and, when I work, I work hard. That said, I also have a lot of spare time at home in Glasgow, which I mostly spend living like a student, eating and drinking with my friends, watching films and reading books.

I like people who are also passionate. I mean about everything, all life: art, food, science, politics, love, humanity. I love to meet new people, see new places, and make the most of the only life I have.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm an existentialist humanist and preference utilitarian.

I have a great respect for science and rationalism, but I'm also a spiritual person. I like kindness and laughter. I don't like rudeness. I believe in forgiveness, and I don't believe in evil people.

Interests

I'm interested in everything: when I'm alone I love to watch movies, read books, listen to music, draw, run, swim, play guitar/keyboard. When I'm with my friends, I like to eat out, drink, go clubbing, go to the theatre, the cinema, the opera, concerts, gigs, fashion shows, lectures... or sometimes we stay in and play boardgames or just sit and talk and maybe smoke.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know my way around a camera, and would love to share. I know how to cook a few pretty good meals, too.

I'd love to improve my poor Cantonese, and wouldn't mind learning some martial arts.
