I was busy over the last few months helping organize a conference aimed at the dangers of Scientology so naturally when we got it all underway I was the main event photographer for both days. We had speakers who were everything from ex-members to academics come from all over the world. Ironically enough that same weekend we had our event Tom Cruise's marriage broke up due to that very same cult so in a matter of hours we were quickly blanketed by international press and magazines. The speakers are friends of mine so I covered every aspect of the weekend both public and behind the scenes.

We had people like L. Ron Hubbard's great grandson and Gerry Armstrong who was Hubbard's personal assistant and was privy to all kinds of information and lies told. Never before have so many ex members in such a hierarchical position got together to talk about their experiences and to warn others of the dangerous posed by a seemingly innocent looking organization. In the grand tradition of Scientology we were stalked and surveyed by their security office and by a number of private investigators. I took a lot of pictures and have been lucky to have them go through many news papers and magazines but as usual I put a selection of them online too so I thought I might as well share some with boards.

To learn more we have a Press pack online, in PDF format.
