I'm fired up on:

exploring, laughing, wanderlust, strangers. 120 film, making art, cyanotypes, vintage. scotch on the rocks & coffee, black. the unknown. the sound of waves crashing, touch. diving with sharks, the way maine smells, onomatopoeias, holgas. IR talk, independent media, getting pummeled surfing, mounds of powder. the horizon. the color red, spanglish. body tricks, other people's babies, finger painting, tugboats, dreaming, dancing! stairs that go on forever, stars that go on forever, extra dirty martinis, phosphorescents…

Tunes I rock out to:

A little bit of everything from the Dead to Radiohead, Coltrane to Groove Armada, when it's live, making it! anything danceable...

Travel style:

dress up, dress down; long trips & living local
