My Bio
I'm an anthropology graduate/office chimp, currently based in Brighton, UK. My main creative pursuits are photography and writing, however I have difficulty sticking with what I'm writing. I have that thing that most aspiring writers seem to have where they have a potential story in their head for years and are constantly working on and adding to it but fail to get it down in writing.

I'm purely an amateur photographer - I don't have any training or qualifications, and my approach has always tended to be much more a documentary than a creative one. If an image naturally occurs that strikes me, I'll record it, but I've never really gone in for photomanipulation or portraiture, or arranged/staged photography. I've recently invested in a new camera and am hoping to get more involved in the creative pursuits, so I'm hoping to give other forms of photography more of a fair go.

Current Residence: Brighton, East Sussex
Favourite genre of music: Post-rock, folk, Motown, Northern Soul, Bluegrass, whatever - I'll give most things a try.
Operating System: Windows XP
Wallpaper of choice: something textured, in a colour like Ecru or Magnolia

I recently came into some money and decided it was about time I invested in a new camera(having managed to fill my old digital compact with sand). I went for a Panasonic Lumix DMX-TZ6 with an 8 gig memory card. Over the weekend I went back to my hometown and took quite a few shots with it, which I'll be going through and editing and posting up here. I have to say that so far I'm very very pleased with my purchase.

Ok so I've had this idea lately (inspired by a Fairport Convention song of all things) for a short story which I also think would make an awesome graphic novel type thing, basically it's set in a kind of post apocalyptic wasteland type thing (or just somewhere remote in the aftermath of a war in the future), and the main protagonist is a robot/fighting machine left over from the war (which would have ended like thousands of years previously) but who is still active and whose programming still runs so who basically stalks the wasteland attacking anybody who crosses his path. Might also put in some aspects of his programming starting to go a bi

So I've started working now - I'm a switchboard operator at the hospital. this involves evening and night shifts in which I have occasional calls but lots of time in between to do, well, whatever I please really. Which means I shall hopefully be doing a lot more writing. The first fruits of this are the first part of an ongoing story which I've posted just now, "The Agronomist's Story". That's a working title. Anyway, any feedback is more than welcome! Hopefully I shall do more stuff soon.
