Parallel Lives
The theory that there exists parallel universes, exactly like our universe has always appealed to me. Equally I can be sympathetic to the idea of ‘parallel lives’. Sometimes I photograph a situation which I feel I had photographed many years before. These three photographs illustrate what I mean. I would say that they illustrate the idea of parallel lives rather crudely because they are similar but not exactly the same in their architecture. As there are so many people in this world I can quite easily believe that many lives are virtually the same. This does not mean that we don’t have free will as individuals where we respond differently to the same circumstance. Its the extraordinary commonality of experience that fascinates me as a photographer. The three boys in these photographs have, I suspect had many similar experiences independently of each other but the outcomes to their lives will also be different.

London 2012 Light Show
A few nights ago their was a magnificent light display which radiated the balcony of our flat. Lights, surrounding the Shard building illuminated the sky and pierced the City’s mists and clouds. We managed to film the ‘event’ – which lasted over an hour. Below Hazuan takes his eye off the camera to pose with the light show behind him….
