My Bio
|
I live for two things: to argue and to make my friends and family smile. It seems like the two of those contradict each other at times. Oh well. I expect and respect honesty and straightforwardness. If you have a problem with me, let me know; if you want something from me, ask. It's as simple as that.
"Chris Willingham is a photographer stuck in a family that would prefer he be a doctor. At age three he got his hands on a camera belonging to his mother and hasn't stopped wasting film yet.
He likes to photograph that which lies in limbo; somewhere between creation and utter destruction. Objects and buildings forgotten by previous owners and inhabitants are his main interest, but he also has a love for kidnapping friends for a day and then photographing them when they least expect, or want, to have their picture taken.
With a camera in hand, Chris feels that he can do anything and go anywhere. Sometimes others disagree, but that has yet to stop him."
