old photographs, trains, bicycles, boats, camels, elephants, rickshaws, long rambles. i like thunderstorms, photobooths, polaroids, holgas, stamps in my passport and trying to converse with old people who have no teeth in languages neither of us understand. i like eating with my hands and sleeping outside. i like cooking, farmers markets and people who grow things in soil. i like reading cookbooks. i like making things beautiful, i like old crumbling buildings and peeling paint and scraps of decaying fabric. i like seeing lots of stars and dancing late at night on rooftops. i'm interested in things that grow, tribal embroidery, radio documentary, oral history, fat books, old books, new books, library books, handwritten letters. and postcards.
