Shoe Leather Zoom

Shoe Leather what now?

Zoom. If the subject is too small, get yourself up closer. If it's too big, move yourself back. Shoe leather zoom.

I got a Nikon camera, I love to take a photograph

The sub-title comes from Paul Simon's highly appropriate song Kodachrome.

Who are you?

My name is Simon. I take photographs, play the bass guitar, watch baseball and listen to the Grateful Dead. I'm English by birth, British by nationality, Northern by the grace of God, Californian by choice and my accent is much cooler than yours.

I'm sure I was 25 the last time I checked, but my birth certificate claims otherwise. I live in beautiful Santa Cruz, California, the original Surf City USA. I like mafia movies and chick flicks and I'm married to an incredibly cool, beautiful American girl. We have four fabulous cats, of whom one in particular has me firmly under his paw.

My heroes are Steve Earle, Henry Rollins and Steve Van Zandt. I believe there's nothing worth knowing about music which cannot be learned from listening to Little Steven's Underground Garage and that if you don't love Creedence Clearwater Revival you have no soul.

I love baseball, rugby league and disc golf and I'm a disenfranchised and thoroughly disillusioned former soccer fan. I believe that rugby union is a profoundly boring game for men too fat and unskilled to play Australian Rules football and I can tell that winter is here because it's only 66 degrees out, there's no baseball and the Beach Boardwalk is only open at weekends.
