I don’t really have a strong focus with my photography so I guess its kind of hard to describe my photos as a whole, they change so much from picture to picture, but I guess maybe that’s the best way of describing them, just a huge, diverse, scramble of stupid stuff, which happens in my life that I want to remember and re-live when I’m old. I’d like to think of it as a peepshow into the adventure and silly-ness that I so often surround myself with.

I have always had an interest in photography really, my dad was big on photography when I was a kid so I think it’s always been something I’ve
Been around, but really it’s my friends which are my main motivation. I’m naturally drawn to photography because its something you can never win at, or complete. Photography is just something that you can do for yourself, or your friends or whoever, as long as your having fun, it doesn’t matter.

For the first half of the day we were acting all commando, scaling fences, dodging security cameras and wading through dense forest trying to avoid getting caught. It was really fun and pretty scary but after a while we didn’t care about getting caught so we just strolled around like we owned the place. I can’t imagine owning a bomb factory but I reckon that’s as close as I’m ever going to get.
