I'm a Londoner who runs a South East Asian shop in Cape Town.

In my spare time I like taking pictures of things.

Particularly things like dogs, scooters and monks.

And monks with dogs on scooters.

I rock a Canon EOS 300D and a lens or two.

Nowadays, I'm amassing a collection of film cameras that currently consists of a Canon EOS 500N, a Holga 120CFN, a borrowed Nikon F, a Rolleiflex, a Halina Paulette, an Ensign selfix, and an Olympus trip 35.

Yay film!

I live mostly at maxbarners.com but also post my stuff at flickr, deviantart and (occasionally) at jpg mag where I look for inspiration from photographers who are Actually Good TM.

I also enjoy monkeys, cheese and cooking Thai food (but not all together).

I do not look at all like Simon Pegg.

Max Barners is just my stage name.
