When I was 16 I borrowed a digital camera from my high school and started shooting for fun. Before long I found myself spending every moment looking around and trying to get a better or different photo then last. I soon started the ‘Kid with Camera’ project, which is still going strong, although kind of redundant now that I merged the archive with formertransformer after starting this project in early 2007. Now that almost 7 years have gone by since my trial and error journey from simple snapshots to semi professional shoots, the excitement and drive has only grown and made photography a bigger part of my life.
Through photography I’ve made odd friends and met the most inspiring and messed up people too. I can’t imagine ware my head would be if I didn’t have the luxury of spending most of my time holding a camera and doing what I want in most cases. I don’t take this for granted either. It’s not perfect but having the freedom to shoot, express and explore where and when I want is more important then a real job, income or a conventionally successful lifestyle. I dropped out of art school and am beyond happy with ware my life is, even if I’m not on a path to standard success.

I am also a drummer looking for a band in Toronto :
There’s some excitement, kind of borderline violence/risk missing in the scene, a style of chaos I’d like to see again. (let’s face it, most bands claiming to be ‘punk’ are dreadfully boring compared to what it once was)
My main influences lie someplace between Lightning bold, Sonic Youth, Arab on Radar and to some degree early hardcore (unavoidably favorite bands like Black flag, Minor Threat and Reagan Youth).
Also math & dance punk, bands like The 1985 , Dear hoof, Rye Coalition, Gaffer, Replicator , the 90 day men, and Drive Like Jehu.
