Villetaneuse, Seine-Saint-Denis January 2012
While going through my archive I noticed that i’d taken the same shot from the very same spot six months apart.
"And it was there, while staring into that bright red bucket, vomiting every hour on the hour, for fifteen hours straight, that I started to think how strange, families, suburbia, life, vomit and in particular, Christmas…. really was."

A lesser known fact is that I also work as a graphic designer and I was recently lucky enough to be able to combine it with photography. I recently designed the latest issue of LPV Magazine for Bryan Formhals. Working with Bryan was a great experience and I am really happy with the result. The issue, the third so far, features photos and quotes by Ed Panar, Hannah Pierce-Carlson, Shane Lynam and Tommy Forbes. It was really fun to edit and sequence other people’s photographs, and then lay them out. I hope to get to do it again some day. For those of you interested in purchasing a printed copy or if you’d rather download a digital version for free, you can do that here.
Writing a research essay about Mark Power’s ‘The Sound of Two Songs’ at the moment. Particularly interested in images like this one. Let me know if you have any thoughts on this work.
