From my dad ... I think we have a similar sense of humor. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing, but I think he's funny!

I don't have any children. I just have a cat, to my parents' dismay.

I don't care so much anymore about 'good photography'; I am gathering evidence for history.

Never, never rest contented with any circle of ideas, but always be certain that a wider one is still possible.
