Profile
Mainly a writer, I have only recently begun taking photographs, and currently am using a very unstable digitial camera. I use no effects apart form the odd black and white shot, and do not use Photoshop or any other program to enhance themages; although occasionally a little tweak on the contrast helps, but still , I rarely use. So, any comments or suggestions from more experienced hands will be greatly appreciated ;-)
I am fascinated by the urban envirnment and all that passes before our eyes in the cityscape of the twenty first century. Being an amateur, though, it will take me a while to truly to be able to capture the images I desire. Lately I am fascinated in photographing the homeless here in Paris, more of whom seem to be on the streets daily.
I have one basic philosophy about life: it has taken me since the beginnning of the Universe to get to who and where I am, so therefore no moment will be wasted. Structured by the Universe into something I can not quite define, I am searching for something, I guess.

From the wagon, a momentary fall
So long since we’ve been together / that I forget how to appreciate your sweetness, / as warmly mocking as it is. / I draw from you secrets: / how to see and behave, / react and control, / vital…
The Nature of Love
The nature of love, confusing and melancholy , / desires an explanation or two. / The cynics may say that it is pheromones / emanating from the folicles / to carress our senses into passion, safety. /…
Conformity's Bitch
To be content with the samness of your environment, looking neither to the future of your own aeroplane and private pool or to the past as sweet dream-like chaos, you look unscrupously at the…
Famine Walk, Dublin.
Across from us over the river the door to the city is closed / Until Monday, apathetic of those here trying to stay warm / And find sleep. Existing here / They are, not living, struggling to hope, / T…
These Dawns are Killing Me
These dawns are killing me; / these vicious sunrises tearing my eyes, / dehydrated cortex wailing inside my porcelain skull / and always that same old promise: / never again; no more / drinking, women…
I Don't Mind Falling
I have tripped myself a few times / Headfirst into complicity, complacency, or excess, / But I never mind falling, / As I always land somewhere beautiful. / Slipping on ice or rope-tied by the neck / …
