Just a little bit about me so you know where I'm coming from...
My name is Mark Perkins. I like photography, (now there's a surprise!), body piercing; I am qualified to pierce and motorcycles. I also have the odd tattoo, you will doubtless be most un-surprised to learn. In fact I am interested in any type of body mod. However, here's the really odd bit... I'm not your stereotypical chopper-riding, hard drinking drug taking rabble-rousing 'rocker'!
In fact, musically, I'm mostly into R&B, soul and most stuff across the spectrum really, from Aretha to Vangelis.
I'm pretty handy with a spanner, and at DIY ( being a Capricorn, apparently , makes me tight! I say I just don't like to pay for things I can do myself!) and used to build and fly model aircraft.
As for the bike, that's right, it's a ..........Blackbird! That wasn't what you expected, was it?
My full time employment is driving articulated tankers at night... which is not as fast, and not as much fun. In fact it's a more dangerous job than riding the bike.... so buy lots of my prints (I'm cheaper than the competition at the moment) so I can stop driving... cheers!
I was born in the year 1967 and share my birthday with the likes of Elvis and David Bowie (is that why I'm a bit weired?) and my family and I live in the picturesque Ribble Valley in Lancashire in the United Kingdom.
My hero's of photography are people like Bob Carlos-Clarke, Ansel Adams, and Jan Saudek, to mention just a few.
