| early years |
Sandy, www.brella.org, july 2003: I used to wheelie Raleigh choppers and then a kid's dad in my flat got a huffy bmx nicked off the back of a lorry from the states and I bugged my mum to buy me one the next Xmas. it was a yellow BH California star from Halfords with anodised blue Weinman rims and parts. What a belter!!! |

Photography.
Sandy, www.brella.org, july 2003: I got into photography when my mum bought me my first manual SLR around my 17th or 18th birthday. Before that I used a little point and shoot to take some bmx and live music photos. My Mother has a big stash of family photos from the 40's to the 70's that got me really inspired, I just loved the idea of any image being drawn or captured from a pencil of a camera lens. My whole family were all artists, and my grandfather was the hub and we all fed off him. |

Sandy, www.sandycarson.com: I was Born in England in '72 and made in Scotland till '92. After studying media and communications at Bell College in Hamilton and doing time on the dole, I decided to move to the states and get a life for myself. Besides, having a collapsed lung from a knife attack from neds was as good a reason as any to leave my hometown. |
