I live in a small bush cabin coming out regularly to check my mail. Generally, it's a life of quiet and solitude. Not sure if that's good or not.
I've been into photography for years and in the last few years that have expanded into postcards. Hence, I'm looking for more postcards in my maibox.
I listen to a lot of music. Recently I've been on a real Neil Young tip. I can't believe it took me so long to get past the Harvest album. I'm really looking forward to seeing the new Jonathan Demme documentary: Neal Young Trunk Show.
I'm also pretty partial to a group of great Toronto musicians involved with the Rat-Drifting label, in particular, The Reveries.
The fiction I read is sci-fi, canlit and a bit of the classics. I also enjoy history, politics, philosophy and critical theory related to photography.
I used to work in an used bookstore and have collected a lot books over the years. Too many actually, though I've often culled them. Currently have around 50 boxes in storage waiting for me to build them shelves in my cabin.
Some of my favourite books are Hunting Wild Life With Camera And Flashlight, Vol. I by George Shiras and The Americans by Robert Frank.
I collect postcards. Some of my favourite kinds are:
Moon, lunar, apollo, space
Wax museum figures, models
Bears, camels, monkeys, gorillas
Mushrooms
Bicycles
Caves
Local views and scenes
Self-portraits
