A bit about my work…
As a photographer, I love to delve into the unseen and unpolished realms of urban landscapes, capturing the spontaneous emergence of back alleys, loading docks, and utilitarian structures. These subjects, often born out of necessity rather than design, embody a raw and unscripted beauty. I tend to focus on the fascinating evolution of these spaces, where minimalism and practicality dictate form, revealing an organic tapestry of the city’s less trodden paths.
In this urban tapestry, a clandestine dance unfolds under the cloak of anonymity – graffiti artists and vandals leave their temporary marks, imbuing these forgotten spaces with bursts of unauthorized creativity. This art, often viewed as an act of defiance, breathes life and colour into the monochromatic utilitarianism, creating a visual dialogue between rebellion and order.
Yet, this artistic insurgency is met with the relentless march of authority, seeking to restore a perceived order. The walls, once canvases of vibrant expression, are repeatedly subdued under hasty coats of paint, chosen for their economy rather than aesthetics. This cycle of creation and suppression, played out in the shadows of the city’s backstreets, captures a perpetual conflict – a reflection of the ongoing tension between individual expression and societal norms.
Through my photography, I aim to immortalize these fleeting moments of raw beauty and chaos, offering a glimpse into the unvarnished reality that thrives behind the meticulously crafted facades of urban civilization.”
FAQ:
Q. So what’s the deal Why are you a jerk? And why do you have a camera?
A. The name Jerk with A Camera is a play on a band called Jerk with a Bomb. See when I opened my first TV torrents account my nick was jerkwithabomb cause I was thinking about The Pixies show at the Commodore a while back when I was registering my first TV Torrents account. The tie in you ask? Well a band called Black Mountain opened for the pixies on that particular night, and Black mountain (as near as I can remember from the description that was given to me by a guy that was standing next to D & I) is Jerk with a bomb with a different name. Please fire me an email if any of this is wrong, I could go and look it up myself but what the fuck do you think this is a Wiki about me! Ok but why a camera, why did you swap the Bomb? Well this brings us back to TV torrents, due to poor personal bandwidth management and the release of all the original episodes of Star Trek, as well as a few other seasons of TV that I prob still haven’t watched, I ended up about 145 gig in the hole (TV torrents was a Ratio site for every gig you download you need to upload some) For those not in the know this is well, almost unrecoverable. So I scrapped that moniker and made a new account under Jerk With A Camera and well it sorta stuck.
That’s all! If you are confused we could flow chart it. Ready
