I am an island you can't reach

I am a bird you can't catch

As wild as the wind

A ripple in the sand

Photos from the past

                                                   Pete Doherty & Me - Photoboot


As a teenager i didn't like to look at family photographs. The nostalgia of a lost time was too much an emotion for me to bear.
These photographs reminded me that a moment was gone and the death of all things made me feel uncomfortable. It was a time when my parents had a really hard time at trying to take a picture of me, using all kinds of subterfuge that never seemed to work. Teenagers, eh!
I could only stand photographs that were created not to record a moment in time but as a quest for something that could stand on its own, as a pure form of creativity.
I have since accepted souvenir photographs as a part of the map of my life, but it stills makes me feel weird sometimes to come across a moment from the past through an old photograph.

                                                    Pete Doherty - Jumping with guitar


Out of my friendship with Pete came some of my favorite photographs and a singing collaboration on his song 'Smashing'.
A nice memory from what seems like a past life.

Self Portraiture

                                        Self portrait - Lace

What do you do when you get the urge to experiment with an idea and you have no model at your disposal: a Self Portrait!

Being the model and the person who takes the photograph at the same time is the most bizarre form of expression, but this is as intimate and care free as it gets, as no-one is judging you during the process. So you can act how you please, in the knowledge that you will erase what is not right in the end.

I suppose that is a photographer's dream to have such a close relationship with the person you are photographing that they give themselves fully and you, as a photographer can experiment without fear.

I think it is especially true with portraiture where you must project something from the person

The best portraits for me are the ones where you sense the subject has let their guard down and given a bit of their essence
