Long biography
(The real story)
I started wanting to be a fireman on weekdays and a subway driver on my days off. That was when I was six. By the time I was ten, that had changed to being obsessive about being an architect. In the meantime, I dreamt of becoming a rock star. Neither of these things happened.
When I started training to be an Architectural Draftsman, my love of reading and writing rekindled, and I found myself drawn towards cinema in particular. I graduated from Architectural Drafting in 1993, at the depths of the worst recession during my life time (to that point anyway). The housing and construction industry was dead, and so I decided that as I wasn’t going to make any money there, I may as well follow my love: writing.
I kinda followed that dream for a while, but like many writers I procrastinate to the extreme and try and find anything that will distract me. Photography has worked well in this role.
