I've always been surrounded by so many wonderful people and memories. And I always wanted to save them forever. Remember them. Hold them. Keep them in a box. Photography, is a way of doing them. I received my first camera when I was 11. And I began to photograph nearly everything in sight.From tours, to award shows, my siblings and parents, musicians, crews, horses, vacations, everything.
I never expected anyone to like them, let alone want me to shoot their album cover, shoot them, or sell a book with all I've taken in it. My first book really dealt with photography and my own personal adventures with it. I'm sure no one was thrilled with that and most people just wanted photos of their favorite celebrities.
Which I understand.
So that's what this book is, it's for your shameless desires. I've put a selection of some of my more famous encounters in here, alone with a few short anecdotes as well. This is nowhere near how many photos I've taken.
But these are the best ones.
And the more relevant ones.
The ones you want to see.

I met Damon for the first time in 1994 at Glastonbury. He was a bit of a cunt and he still is. He stole my lighter from me and had me chase around for it. But we became great friends. He introduced me to the realm of Britpop and all of its beholders.
