Man Endures Beatdown Whilst Filling In For Missing Fighter.


A Quick Abstract.

While boxing may well indeed be an ugly sport. Whilst competing, there can be moments of great mental clarity and epiphany like thoughts that go through your mind. (like what the fuck am I doing here)

Although this man punching me was so far out of my league in boxing terms (his original opponent didn't show up). I made the decision and stepped in to represent my University.

While I was taken out to lunch and severely beaten (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IjCtDqKVG8) I did enjoy the before mentioned feeling of mental clarity. There's something very simple about being in a fight, it's just you and your opponent. While I don't want anyone being in a fight, I do believe that if it's in a controlled environment with minimal risk of injury, you won't regret it.

BBM

This is not just any FuckingAmazingPhotograph that i have taken, concocted a pretentious title for and slapped up on the web.
Therefore i feel it merits a proper introduction.
This is a project that i have worked on for over a year now and it highlights how the smartphone has changed how we act and communicate.
Pual is a classic example of the modern smartphone user and like most users he will do anything to answer a text, email or BBM and will do so in any situation wether he is watching TV, in the pub or even in mid conversation.
I have taken it upon myself to photograph Pual every time he picks up his blackberry, unfortunately this would be a full time job and as i already have one of them i have had to settle for every time i SEE him pick up the blackberry but i am sure it happens more often.
Anyway, here it is
enjoy!
