As a photographer I spend the majority of my time behind the lens photographing other people, but if a camera is turned on me, I always run a mile. I first became camera shy in my teenage years and today nothing has changed. There are very few photographs taken of me since 1984, and it’s like I didn’t exist for the past 30 years. Today I decided to photograph myself for a change. As I get older and watch the years flying by I’m beginning to place more value on photography, and in 30 years time when I’m 75 I’ll be glad I have this self portrait. Photographs capture moments in time that we can never have back.
