This is a slightly spotty record of adventures both mini and major. The major adventures tend to involve travelling several hundred miles for work or play; Madrid, LA, Prince Edward Island, the Mid-Atlantic, wherever. The mini ones are almost entirely focussed on whimsical chaos; shaving all of my girlfriend's hair off, inventing new plush toys, mini-golf in mid-winter, cello recitals, whatever. Inbetween the adventures are lots of food, occasional dancing, a fluctuating cast of co-conspirators and kindred spirits, pikey magic, and often complete idiocy.

Caveats:
The shots that you see here are a fairly good representation of my increasing but still fairly rubbish degree of skill as a photographer. The stuff that is locked away for friends and family fills in a lot of the gaps to make this much more of a photoblog. If you're interested in every little thing I find fascinating, just let me know.

Timeline:
2010+ iPhone 4 camera phone (point and shoot) + Olympus E-P2 (DSLR). EXIF will show you how!
2009+ Olympus 770sw + occasional photoshop tweakery
2007+ Olympus 770sw
2005+ Motorola A1000 camera phone + drug store disposables
2002+ Pikey Magic
1994+ Cannon Brick of Doom

During the Pikey Magic era I had very little money, no camera, and lots of lovely friends. To that extent almost none of the photos are actually mine. If you're the guilty party instead, feel free to own up in the comments, or ask me to credit you in the text. Despite being a ninja, I am not without honour or humility.
