I've always liked street photography, and slice of life photography too. Just scenes from the everyday....

They've got stories to tell too, and can be just as interesting as anything else...

We just seldom listen to what they may have to say.

Watching you fade away

He goes, he tries
to claim his prize,
he tries...
slightly, slowly pries...
unsure, she cries
so slow, so slow
he needs a sign
she says "GO"

Lately I've taken an extra interest in the everyday world around me.

Mostly, because I've not been able to shoot much, but also to step back and look at the stories they're telling.

It's interesting, compelling, and some nonsense all at the same time.

Still trying to find me

Still trying to find me, a photo by Damian Gadal on Flickr.

Cold tracks roam
passing jagged beams
no one's home
The receiver cries relentlessly...
burning embers,
crackling company...
Together we wait
you falling away used,
and I in expectation...

Keeping Secrets

Cut off their tongues
and bombard them with noise
soon they'll forget about that
little voice in their heads...

They'll have no words,
no thoughts to express
just dying memories
once dreams have fled...

Sometimes things just fit together...

She puts it all together,
and keeps me on the run.
