Joe Shellard's photostream

Though I think of myself as logical and scientific, I am an arty type and I like painting, photography and the digital stuff as well. I don't often visit galleries because my friends don't, and I think, as with movies, talking about what you see is an important part of digesting it.

I spend too much time on my PC, in addition to the art I chat, play games and browse the web.

My weird obsession's lucid dreaming, and would take too long to explain, so go to www.ld4all.com or watch 'Waking Life'.

When all these interests are taken care of, I socialise. In or out. However, I find meeting new people difficult. I'm often terrified when speaking to people I don't know well. Sometimes alcohol can change this completely, sometimes it makes me vomit.

I sound quite serious here, but I do like a laugh. Sometimes several, in fact. I have an odd sense of humour - I take a while to get to know, and a long time to get comfortable with people.
