I'm a writer and photographer who freelances as a journalist and book reviewer. In my role as journalist, I cover writing and the arts. I'm interested in 'zines and small press publishing and the overlap of visual arts and poetry. Photographically, I'm interested in portraiture as well as street photography that shines a light on who we humans are.
