Hey YOU,

WHAT'S GOING ON? Don't tell me, nothing..I know...but actually, that's not true. I've been having some great thoughts during this crisis. I'm beginning to believe it's a massive shift, an upgrade for humanity. It's getting us closer to oneness. To ourselves, as harmony rather than separate disembodied collective. I've been editing a bunch of archive work and also finding ways to sort a lot of work, 'one-off' shoots I had no idea how to categorise previously. I found it's making a lot of sense for me to organise them by space. I'm talking about oodles of shoots of mostly sexy/sexual/erotic photos, mostly of women. The photos took place in my previous flat in London, my London studio, outdoors and at people's places...and thus, I realised it's making a lot of sense to organise everything as follows:

Human Nature - all photos taken outdoors in nature.
In a Box - all photos taken at my first flat in London; my room, the kitchen, shower room...
Studio Fragments - all photos taken in my London studio against a clean paper background.
Human Spaces - all photos taken at other people's places (indoors)
My Human Space - all photos taken in my own studio but not against the clean paper background.
Cityscape Portraits - all photos taken outdoors in urban environments.

...and just like that, 5 new projects were born ('In a Box' was a series I partially published in 2011).

So there you go. here's an alphabetic list of all of my current + future main projects. I've written that list over the past few days. It's great to be able to reflect and project...projects ah ah :P ye, I feel quite motivated:
