TWO YEARS after the apocalypse that was the Second World War ended, Magnum Photos was founded. The world's most prestigious photographic agency was formed by four photographers - Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger, and David "Chim" Seymour. In the fifty years that followed, Magnum Photos produced series after series of stark, dramatic, and horrific pictures that reflect the world of conflict in which it lived. It was considered by many to be the pinnacle archive of photojournalism.
This is not Magnum Photos. Cro-Magnum consists of the work of a would-be Magnum reject and is considered by many to be an archive of lower evolutionary order. No matter. The heart is in the right place though the scope may be smaller and the talent less prodigious.
Growth often consists of the frequent destruction of previous thoughts and ideas so that new ones can take root. Over the past three years I have tried to explore anything that came to mind, often with mixed results, but always with the hope of finding a new method of expression. The following pages contain a series of self-selected images that I have taken within that time. Most of them are pictures that I like, or at the every least ideas that I wanted to explore. There is a lot of work left to be done obviously, but here is a start.
