Inspiration everywhere. My photography heroes start with Danny Lyon,goes via William Eggleston, and past Elaine Constantine into a fluctuating no-man's land of contemporary artists names I immediately forget. My collection of expensive hardback books are gathering dust, their intellectual bubble burst by the low brow snap shots of the unschooled; free to be trawled on the internet.
Take Stuka Brown of Arsehole Customs, this self portrait is IT. Taken in his Craigavon back garden with his 1200 Bandit street fighter. I can't fault it, and his name is easy enough to remember. BP
Life's a ---- and then you die. maybe I should have include the word instead of dashes after a stunning set of pictures, hard and gutsy all of them

Nice. I think anyone who can call themselves an arsehole is probably a lovable one. I mean not literally, or... trying not to be an arsehole. I have worked in galleries with Ansel Adams exhibitions on the wall, and have long loved xeroxed fanzines from the punk days. Nice spectrum.
