I shot these images on a really rainy day in L.A. James Goldstein was shuffling around the house with his little entourage, and I was lucky enough to have two willing models to brave the cold for the sake of being involved in something that might not ever get a chance to do again. This experience is one of the most memorable times I've had in my career. I love these pieces and what it means to me as an artist." — © Emily Abay. *The Swimmer*.

Completely original and vastly absurd, he has one foot firmly planted into the soils of reality, and the other rooted deep in a determination to redefine silliness. Working between TV, radio and live performances, Sam is a true Australian original. — © Stuart Miller. Sam Simmons. Sam Simmons is one of the most daring and unconventional comics in Australia.
