THUMBNAILS

A selection of photos of me from age 3(?) to present; If you want to examine them in gruesome detail please click on the thumbnails to view full size versions.

Me at the Peter Pan statue in Kensington Gardens - I had a strange obsession with the rabbits!

Me in Kensington Gardens a few decades later - still keen on those rabbits, it seems!

Me on a beach in Calais, sometime in the 1960's; about the time I decided to be a composer. I look quite hopeful, don't I? Notice my predilection for formal attire even then, Photo - my Mum.

Me around the same time. I was very proud of my Greek warrior, made of papier-mache around an old milk-bottle. An optimistic outlook on life, one would say? Photo - Mr. Pierce, my teacher.

This is me as a wild wacky student, in my big black cloak and long hair - pretending to be Rasputin. Happy Days! I look as though I'm having fun, anyway. Photo Javid Hai.

Me looking rather wild and sultry (or do I mean sulky?), aged about 17.

A bit later on - when I'd calmed down a bit and had a haircut. Me in front of Oscar Wilde's tomb in Paris. I look a bit resigned, don't you think? Could it be I have lost a bit of my zest for life? Photo by Robert Kelly

And what's this? Me during the height of my Scottish Romantic period, sometime in the early 90's, on the isle of Skye, in a kilt!

And now - the contemporary reality. Me being reasonable in a garden in East London, July 1999

AND

Oh God! Me in gory close-up. Whatever happened to that eager little kid, I wonder? I think what happened is what's called - LIFE. Oh well.
