My camera ran out of battery as I filmed the closing sequence to one of the most unexpected evenings I’ve lived in recent memory. As some of you know I’m big into my self narrated videos. I enjoy filming my life as if I were a bit actor in a much larger story. I can’t [...]

So here I am. One year later. My apartment is cleaned and I’m ready to move out and onto a new life. I leave London tomorrow. I came to write a thesis. I handed it in two days ago. I also came to discover London and myself a little more. I hope to slowly tell [...]

Happy New Year people.
I’m just taking a little break from my dissertation. I’ve been writing this thing for about a month now. The 25000 words became 18000 and now its down to the requisite hand in length, 15 000.
I’m happy that its almost over. I’m also kind of sad. I’ve [...]

I’m a big fan of observation, reflection and symbolism. It’s neat to sit and think about what drives people to do the things they do. With an active imagination I like to watch people walk the streets, sidewalks and train stations. I’ll usually pick one person from the safety of my café [...]

Painting, for me, is true freedom. Its singular freedom. I can do what I want, when I want and how I want it done. Its freedom from the worries, thoughts and suggestions of others. It’s me alone with a blank canvas. Sound great?
Well it is, certain aspects of painting are [...]

There was a moment; I think it was near the end of the movie, when Crocodile Dundee was preparing to go where ever it is that he was going. It was when he put on his leather hat, it was leather wasn’t it? He grabbed his bowie knife, slipped on his boots and [...]
I have been feeling sad lately, horribly, horribly sad. It’s a combination of a few things.
This is the time of year I begin a sort of mourning. I mourn the year that has passed. It must be the dying leaves, the way they fight and struggle to keep their color before falling [...]
I found you lying on the sidewalk and as soon as I saw you, laying there, I knew you had to be mine.
I couldn’t believe someone could just throw you out, so cruelly, left [...]
I made it back to London after what seemed to be a mind numbingly long flight. I know it seems I’m going on about this flight but it really, really was long.
To be honest and a bit cheesy, I find flying above cities and the earth in general to be somehow inspirational. The [...]
I was on the train the other day and I started wondering what would happen if I took a lot of pictures from the window seat of the train and uploaded them to the web sequentially.
So the first step was to take the pictures. I did that.
Second I had to resize them to fit [...]
This weekend I was invited to a boat party. There was this party organized on a boat. It was a big boat. The guy who invited me said there would be 250 people. Everyone paid 15 pounds to cruise the Thames in a drunken stupor.
I liked it. Although my friends and I were the only [...]
If you’re a regular visitor to the site you might know how much I love to eat. Since I’ve moved to London I’ve had a thousand choices to try.
I’m normally a pretty optimistic and happy person. There are moments though that I do slow to think and reflect. It isn’t yet clear what triggers these seconds of reflection but I did catch one on film the other day.
Excited about my internet connection and my contact with the world beyond my apartment I decided to take a little walk around my neighbourhood (notice the English spelling) and take a few pics for you.
Phew! Its been a month that I’ve gone without an internet connection and no updates to my beloved PTV. Sorry. I’ve been moving from Paris to London.
