about

i'm archie. most weeks i'm at a conference, waiting for the second someone forgets the camera is there.

the rest of the time it's a fuji and a city i don't know yet. new york in march, hong kong in october.

sony for the jobs, fuji for me. i make films too. the cage fight is a good place to start.
