About

For my 8th birthday my mom made me a neon outfit / tracksuit. Pleased as punch I stood in the garden for her to take my picture. I loved the thought of making such a bold fashion statement. The only things missing was the side-pony-tail and the white PEP STORES plimsolls!

I also wanted a turn with the camera though... My mom hesitated. Even though hers wasn't top-of-the-range it was still an expensive piece of equipment and those were the days when everything had to be developed - no digital photography, no editing, no retakes. But she gave it to me nevertheless and I took one of her with my brothers.

When the developed pictures arrived, my mom said; "This is actually a very good shot."

That's when the obsession started.




The motivation for this blog came after watching John Bishop; "Everyone has a dream they never grow out of."
