1. What is your favorite subject to photograph?
Oh, urban ruins! The abandoned church in Gary has been calling me especially loudly these last few weeks. I can't wait to get a decent camera and go back there; I could probably go through a good five or six hundred exposures there. There are just so many things to capture there and ways to capture them!
Andrea is probably my second favorite. I'm planning to do no small amount of combining those two subjects if I can convince her to accompany me in my trespassing.
2. Favorite dish at chinese buffet?
One of the most fun things about Chinese buffet is related to a theory of mine about them. If you take the best food item from each of an arbitrary (but > ten or so) individual buffets, you will have a selection of the best chinese food you could ever want. So some of the fun in going to a new buffet is deciding which of the offered dishes should be added to the great buffet in the sky.
That said, I'm voting for crab rangoons. Oh, the deep-fried crabby love....
3. Where on earth was that icon picture taken?
I don't think anyone's ever asked me that!
Andrea and I were on a road-trip up through northern lower Michigan to show me a few interesting things like the site of an abandoned town and a local craft fair. At a town called Tawas, we saw this old playground near the place we were staying and decided, since it was vacant, to go explore. There was a slide shaped like a giant dog and the picture opportunity presented itself as I, (barefoot of course) slid down it. I have more pictures of somewhere of other things from there too like Andrea and I sitting astride a giant emu or something. Fun times!
4. What's your favorite movie?
Perhaps because I watched it over and over when I was a boy of elementary school age, I'd have to say The Last Unicorn. (Or, as Andrea calls it, "My Emo Pony".) I was enchanted by it growing up, and yes, it still makes me a little sniffly. I still have the copy on vinyl that I used to watch back then. You can tell it was very well loved by a little kid. *grins*
5. Favorite genre of music?
That may well be impossible to answer. I'll listen to just about anything. My favorite artist or group may well be Pink Floyd, but I listen to verything: my grandparents' blues 78s, modern abstract techno, Japanese noisepunk, classic rock....
I think the winner for favoriet genre might be sixties and seventies psychedelia. There's Pink Floyd of course, but I'm also into groups like Strawberry Alarm Clock, The Small Faces, and The Grateful Dead, as well as songwriters like Nick Drake. (If you've never listened to Nick Drake, you're missing out on a pheonomonal thing.) I also adore Neil Young, and not just because he's really hot.
