Bio

Photographer-journeyman, scholar of Indian and Iranian languages and cultures, Firekeeper, Yurt (or rather Ger) owner, builder of traditional West Greenland kayaks and paddles.

After a long, checkered and frustrating career as an assistant photographer, dropped out of photography altogether, before returning with a love of rangefinders, Leica lenses, obscure Russian lenses and a loathing of "proper" photography.

Exhibited at Kunst Aan de Kade in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, organized the rotterdam@flickr exhibition in -surprise - Rotterdam.

Photographs published in JPG Magazine and eYe Magazine, commercial work for Tonanzi, OpenBC and Cellspace.
