“Oh” said Rachel as we coffee-d up “so you’re a portrait artist, who uses words instead of paint”

Rachel is an artist herself, and she reminded me that we rarely see ourselves the way others do.

She’s right though. A full catastrophe portrait — your life, or someone you love, is told in words and photographs. It’s a story. It’s my take on things.

I’m in my gonzo period.

Portraits are published as a fancy coffee table book. Or a ‘zine if you don’t like coffee tables.

I’m telling my own story in much the same way I’d tell yours, leaving in all the bits you think you should leave out.

It’s better that way.

Caution, meet wind.
