This
is a collection of various personal "Happy Snaps" of me
over the years.
I
have spent my life taking photographs of others and am rarely in
front of the camera.
My
photographic education taught that a photographer is a catalyst
for the picture. It is the image and subject that is featured, not
the photographer.
So If you think I am being narcissistic and self indulgent displaying
these photographs, you are right!

This

was a fake.
I made it myself!
It
got me in to many gigs and I got the pictures published weekly. The
London music press came to rely upon my relentless pursuit of the
picture.
