The thing about tourism is that the reality of a place is quite different from the mythology of it.

Tourism is the biggest industry in the world.

I always take photographs when I attend a funeral. Most people there know who I am and expect me to be there with my camera.

I am a big fan of Jim Jarmusch and I do love big screen documentaries.

Photography is the simplest thing in the world, but it is incredibly complicated to make it really work.

I do read many of the photography magazines from the UK and abroad.

Photographs are interpretations of reality; as such, it is entirely subjective. Most photos are taken with an agenda, to sell something or to make a subject look better than it really is. Think of family snapshots - everyone is smiling and happy.
