I like to make stuff.  In fact, last night (1 a.m.), I was sewing a
cockpit cover for the stitch n' glue North Bay I just finished after
modifying a tow belt I made a couple of months ago.  Today a rack for
boat storage.  Plans for skin boat, stripper and foldable not
necessarily in that order are on the drawing board.  I have a reasonably
large studio which includes a machine shop and woodworking studio.

I photograph.  I have been doing 'street' photography for almost 25
years which has evolved into the daily journal website below.

I paint.  This has been in a bit of an hiatus for the last year, but
will continue when I get my studio settled.

Guitar player, but should devote more time to that.  RAgtime, Blues
fingerpicking styles primarily.  This does not correlate with my taste
in music however, which also plays a rather large part of my life. 
 
I read a fair amount, mostly art criticism ( was very confused when a
poster was looking for a solution for paddle placement because s/he did
not like the way visually the water broke over the bow with the paddle
interruption- the reason was, s/he was an artist and implied a
sensitivity to these things.  I have been trying to find some source
which denotes some correlation with Art and Aesthetics.  Not much in the
past few decades.).  This has taken me through some research in
linguistics, design, and history.

I do a bit of biking. 

Spend too much time on the computer with imaging, research and things.
