About:

Welcome to Decoding Static on tumblr. Here I'll post snapshots of my writing, photography and art.

There will also be a generous scattering of recommends, anything I find interesting or makes me smile, hopefully both. The rights to the work will of cause remain with the person. If you like their work, explore it further and say hello to them.

A little bit about me, 'I write not out of desire to tell stories, but a need to understand who I am and consequently who we are. I view myself more often than not as an outsider, after a long struggle I have found this to be a place where I am comfortable. As an outsider I have developed an interest in the place of the individual in society and the responsibility we need to take for our existence and desired freedom. The behaviours that result from such responsibility or the shrugging of it form the basis of much of my writing, art and photography via the themes of loneliness, love, despair, hope and the individual. I believe creativity is at its most beautiful when it challenges; I want people to stop and think.'

My writing, art and photography can be viewed at Decoding Static.
