romantic path of self destruction 2015-present

​

this 35mm series explores romantic aspects of substance- and other abuse. not everyone chooses to walk through life on a 'beaten path'. 

​

these two fellas for example are my father-(and step-father)-in-law and they've been best buddies for more life times than the average guy.

​

last time we all got together, we drank endless pitchers of shitty beer at the honest lawyer in Hamilton, Ontario.

Kenny (left) got into trouble with four guys before the end of the afternoon (!).

he's got a heart of gold, only one eye and is one of the toughest guys I've ever seen crying meeting his step-daughter after years.

Derek is my father-in-law, passionate about old-timers and a lost poet, genius writer, who lives in a dead end facility for untreatable drunks.
