Aliens are probably nuts too.

Living on this amazing jewel of a planet it never ceases to amaze me how so much of what us humans do is simply insane, we invented capitalism, nuff said.  So my mind started to wonder what aliens would make of it all, but then decided they’re probably nuts too.

Bush and Blair guilty of war crimes – this is not the news.

In November 2011 George Bush and Tony Blair were found guilty of war crimes by the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal and whilst this is not internationally binding, it paves the way for an internationally binding trial. Astonishingly, this news did not make it into the western media and, naturally, I have to wonder why? Like […]

Water is sacred to life.

Water is colourless, tasteless and odourless, beautiful beyond compare and without it there is no life.

There’s nothing wrong with mystery.

Ham Hill Country Park with a bit extra slipping through from another dimension. When I moved from London to Peasedown St John I had little idea how much living in London had stunted my being and how much waking up I had to do. In discovering this new world I had moved to I visited […]

The words we use with each other are actually rather important and far from cheap: misunderstandings abound, wars are created, […]

To this day I am not quite sure what happened during my pubescent years, but I was captivated by such iconic beauties as Marilyn Monroe and Brigitte Bardot and that kind of iconic beauty has been a restless beast inside me ever since. To nicely complicate my life, I also became a transvestite, which was entirely a driven, […]

Out of the ordinary.

What drives an artist/photographer? I’ve often wondered how this happened because it isn’t something I have much control over, I am more like a junky looking for his next fix than anything else. It is the one thing in my life that I dedicate time to, almost all my time, utterly focussed and single minded. […]

All power, no ego.

This was the moment on May 9th 2008 when this lightning strike took out the roof of the Village Hall in the nearby town of Paulton. Storms are rare in these parts, so even the merest hint of a rumble will have me running about grabbing my camera and tripod and setting up to catch the […]
