About Me
- Nicolas Chinardet
- Born in 1974, Nicolas arrived from his native France (the bit where they make wine and
mustard) in July 2000, as part of the ongoing colonising effort started
in 1066. Although well aware that English is little more than badly
pronounced French, he had taken the precaution of studying the language
at university before getting himself kicked out of the country (mostly
for being by far too unFrench).
The sad and corny truth is that Nicolas fell in love with London a few years before his migration after spending a week walking the streets of this hallowed city. It was like coming home. And so it passed that sarf London became home. During the intervening years, Nicolas has been a member of the London Gay Men's Chorus and has flexed is political muscle by getting involved with his local LGBT network and LGBT History Month. Nicolas is the moderator of the London Gay Reading Group, and an occasional contributor to Londonist.com, PinkNews and Gay Star News. He has also accrued an extensive online presence (read: he doesn't have a life and spends too much time online) centred around his blog.
Nicolas likes taking pictures (he is a member of the Gay Photographers Network) and reviewing things. His pictures have so far been shown in two group exhibitions: Men: Deep Desires and Broken Dreams at the Riverside Studios in February 2012 and F20-12 at the Strand Gallery in June 2012. They have been used by Channel 4, CNN, The Guardian (website), Tate Modern, London Underground, Londonist, VisitBritain, The Royal Society for the Arts, The Friend, Action on Smoking and Health, Concrete, LGBT History Month, Catholic Times, The London Gay Men's Chorus, Inside The Games, The University of Central Lancashire, among others.
