I Like bits of trees and whatnot that i find on the floor. I like pinecones and all things associated with pinecones. I like Vagueness. I like Bricolage. I like thinking about the sounds in peoples pockets and in their shoes also. I like maps. I like getting lost. I like thunderstorms. I like not recording every interesting sound, or photographing every compelling object or scene that I hear or see.
