Mostly known to "push buttons" and "twiddle knobs". I like turning knobs.

Passionate about photography, memory fading fast, cameras help me remember people, places, smells, funny fashions and just cool stuff.

Amazing amounts of inspiration found from all of you "flickrites". Lots of thanks to you all especially to my contacts for ideas and motivation. If you're out in the wild and I point my lens at you, just like Bruce Gilden, I consider you fascinating and my friend.

Cheers
