You are presently living back in Driffield have you got any assignments on the
horizon or are you working from home for time being until another assignment arises?
I'm currently in Yorkshire for the next month or two photographing the effect
that the flooding of 2007 has had on a group of people in Hull. The number of
people who are still living in temporary accommodation and caravans due to
poorly managed restoration work is truly unforgivable.
|
|
I'm hoping to pitch
the photo story to a national newspaper to get more coverage and support for the relief effort.
Once I've finished that project I'll be flying back to Canada where I currently
live with my girlfriend, a fantastically talented entertainment journalist (well
I would say that wouldn't I?) in Toronto.
Finally for people interested in you and your work what is the best way to find
out more and to keep abreast of future shoots that you become involved in?
I have my own homemade gallery online that severely needs a re-design at
www.christophermanson.com
There are many free online resources that provide the photographer a chance to
showcase their work and most of my documentary work is featured on one of them.
It's a photographers networking site called www.lightstalkers.com/christopher-manson.
It is a fantastic site full of talented photojournalists who share stories and help
each other out with work.
A better version of my fashion work can also be found on
www.myspace.com/mansonphotography
For further information about Chris and his work, he can be contacted at mansonphotography@gmail.com

People, Interviews - Interview with Tokyo Dragons By Michelle Dee
|
|
Tokyo dragons are definitely not like The Smiths, lets just clear that one up.
They play a brand of loud ballsy U.S. rock circa 1995, maybe like G.n'R. or
Aerosmith with a bit of Kiss thrown in.
It's been a while since I checked out the mainstream rock scene.
These guys have been going for four years and hail from N.W. London
