wannabe photographer, occasional writer
See more of my photos at photos.gilliver.net
I’m primarily a portrait photographer so you’ll probably see my best work on my website.
I prefer to avoid image editing with Photoshop, so most of the images you’ll see here are direct-from-camera (they’ll be marked as ‘unedited image’). My philosophy is usually: if it needs Photoshop, I must have stuffed up.
For the record, I hate the expressions “nice capture”, “great capture”, “lovely capture” etc. Very few of my photos are accidental so I don’t like the implication that I was merely lucky.
It’s been a while since I finished any writing but I’ve uploaded some older pieces here.

At dawn, the house is quiet. The sun peers in a window and reaches for the untouched bed. Out on the balcony a restless man awakens from his threadbare sleep, his face streaked by tears.
That’s not the whole story / Well it scares me anyway / I don’t know what I need to hear / To make me stay
I don’t know why / We persevered / This time / It stops right here
Cupid fired an arrow / Without taking aim / I feel no fear / And I feel no pain
A man jumped into the water / And didn’t try to swim / I just held my breath / I didn’t do a thing
Don’t worry, I won’t come around / I remember all the rules / Whatever you think I am these days / I hope I’m not a fool
