Archaeology, the shipwreck Austria, diving, filmmaking, art, motorcycle adventures. I'm not doing as much work in the desert these days - spending more time exploring maritime archaeology.
My great-grand parents.
Calexico, Low, Smog, Hapa, OP8, Giant Sand, The Killers, PJ Harvey, Bebel Gilberto, Spiritualized, Simon Geerlofs, Huis de Boer. Almost anything else, as long is it's not maniacally repetitive.
All kinds - except for gratuitously depressing films (Million Dollar Baby & the House of Sand and Fog was a waste of time). Really depends on my mood.
Rarely.
Love the Alchemist, Servants of the Map, Ship Fever, The Self-Sufficient Life and How to Live It. Currently reading a lot of books for school (Cross Cultural Filmmaking, Shipwrecks of the Pacific Coast).
