Description
Waldo Waldini was born and raised in the suburbs of Hampstead, London, on September 27th 1969 to parents Susan Phisher and Martin D. Waldini.

Through the 1970's Waldo spent his adolescence attempting to gain acceptance from his father Martin, who, at the time, was a well known philanthropist and writer. Waldo was a lonely child, spending much of his early childhood alone in his bedroom clipping articles from his mother's copy of The Encyclopedia Britannica and dreaming of the day he would travel to his hearts content.
He'd often thought of distant places where he could escape the rigid upbringing that defined his childhood. Regardless of his reclusion he was a surprisingly good natured child and often delighted in hiding his belongings in public.

His mother was a noted physician and inventor.

In the 1980's Waldo took an active interest in New Wave Punk music, and was often seen sporting a B-52's lunch box.

In his teens he developed a taste for bran muffins and spent many hours at the cinema obsessing over Jean-Luc Godard.

In the summer of 1989 Waldo ran away from home to travel. Inspired, he left for the Mediterranean. A year later he met his first girlfriend Wilma Handford who was working at a bookstore in Narbonne, France. Their relationship lasted for ten months while they traveled the South Pacific but dissipated shortly afterwards when Waldo left her for her twin sister Wenda. He and Wenda only briefly dated; in 1991 while off the coast of Papau New Guinea Wenda left him for a Nubian sailor she met after a terrible sailing accident that left her right leg lame for the rest of her life.

In his early twenties he joined a group of self-indulgent iconoclasts poets who spent their waking hour hosting coffee shop readings and night time raiding missions to remove crucifixes from public places.

At 27 he met his third girlfriend Barb. Barb was a 26 year old film school dropout and aspiring writer working at a small cinema in Brussels. They hit it off instantly moving to TriBeCa, and are now expecting their first child sometime early to mid 2008.

Waldo lives and works in New York city as a writer and photographer. His currently work features documentation of inner city street pigeons as well as on-the-spot beat box poetry.
