Team PodcART continues to grow…AND WE WANT YOU TOO!
Firstly I would like to thank everyone who got in touch with me about joining Team PodcART. I attempted to contact everyone who emailed me about joining the team but if I missed anyone out please accept my apologies! The process of inviting people to join has further reinforced what I already believe to be true. Glasgow and indeed Scotland are blissfully overflowing with amazingly gifted and talented people. I had great fun looking through the various portfolios, websites and CV’s that were sent my way. I would in fact go as far as to say that it was an education in all things Art. More

Campfires In Winter + The Morgue Party Candidate + Macabre Scene + Heart Beats Thurs 19th Nov @ Pivo Pivo.
Thursday the 19th of November was etched in bold black ink upon a piece of paper in my wallet, for some weeks beforehand. I often get facebook reminders, and set little memory joggers in my BlackBerry and I am thankful for such technological developments.

“So What do you do?”
I have had some extremely interesting times of late. I am doing more of what I want to do with my life, more and more every day. I hope to be able to say in 3-5 years time that I earn my living solely from the provision of services as a freelance photographer, writer, PodcARTer and musician. It is good to have ambition back.
