read the pdf:
http://members.ozemail.com.au/~starkers/Escaping_Into_Life_-_a_pyscho_study_of_the_contemporary_street_photographer_-__by_Andrew_Stark.pdf

first paragraph:
“I am a sickly man … I am an unattractive man. I am a quietly ambitious man with lofty designs on the sedentary status of life as a second tier artist. I am a street photographer and I have a strongly held suspicion that something just isn’t quite right with my liver. For I am an Australian – Sydney born – Sydney, that sparkly city to be found just a drunken roll down from the deepest waters of Woy Woy and upper Mullet Creek. A sprawling metropolis providing amble challenge to the scuttling wanderer: he who has taught himself free-style, to search out with the lightest of subjective touches that white bordered rectangle of a hushed and futile reality.”

    Andrew was kind enough to send me a copy several months ago. I heartily recommend it. It’s a great read and I hope he can get it published in some form.
