I turned off the talking politicos. Too much jabbering at each other. Not enough care about humans.

Boston was a great city to grow up in, and it probably still is. We were surrounded by two very important elements: academia and the arts. I was surrounded by theater, music, dance, museums. And I learned how to sail on the Charles River. So I had a great childhood in Boston. It was wonderful.

This time, there have been a lot of interesting discussions about the subject matter, and I've had a good time talking about it. And in some of the cases, I'm not just signing books - I'm showing slides and talking about the work

Fascinating is a word I use for the unexpected, in this case I would think interesting would suffice.

That's the most difficult issue for me - to find a subject that holds my interest long enough that I'm prepared to go to work and spend the time and energy to shoot the subject.

I became hooked on the idea of being able to shoot an image and process it myself, and end up with a product.

I use a computer. I don't know if that qualifies me as a techie, but I'm pretty good on the computer.
