ABOUT ME

I enjoy making people laugh.
I'm easy-going.

Live in Edinburgh, study at art school (photography). Enjoy live music (jazz mostly), art exhibitions, particular art photography.

PHILOSOPHY

Each to his own. Make the most of what you have, and even try learning to live without what you do have, since you may realise you don't actually need it.
