A few photographers I know started doing this “Top 25 things you didn’t know about me” post on their respective blogs and I thought…hey, what the heck, this could be fun. Afterall, I had a blast reading about their 25 things, why shouldn’t I share as well? Instead of doing all 25 at once I’ll blog mine in installments, that way I’ll have stuff to blog about when I feel I’ve run out of stuff to blog about (like now, when the wedding season in Calgary has slowed)…that and mostly because I haven’t been able to come up with 25 unique things about myself yet. 10 is a good starting number. So here we go. This should be interesting as I’m not a very eloquent writer and if you’ve ever actually read the things I write in this blog you’d tend to agree.
10 things that you didn’t know about that I’m sure you’re glad you now know:
- If the volume dial on the TV/stereo/computer is numeric, the volume must always be set on an even number. Always.
- My footwear of choice is the thong sandal. I’d wear this every day if I could. This would likely mean I’m somewhere tropical but not necessarily. I’ve been known to wear sandals in the winter.
- I drink coffee like nobodies business. I am an addict and I’m convinced that’s why my joints are creaky. I have no proof that there is causation. I dont even know if there is correlation as I haven’t stopped drinking coffee long enough to see if any noticeable improvements take place.
- I don’t like Starbucks
- I used to think Czechoslovakia was pronounced Chocolate-slovakia.
- I currently have 5 active email accounts that I check regularly. This is the lowest its ever been since email was introduced to me.
- My favourite movie of all time is Swingers. The skinny version of Vince Vaughn had style.
- I’ve spent a large portion of my life donating my time to charitable causes. By my count, I’ve worked with at least 8 different charitable groups. I plan on continuing to give my time to worthy causes. My dream job would be document international charitable efforts of some kind with my camera.
- Terra does not yet know about the latter part of #8
- I lived in Brussels, Belgium for just under a year. They have over 500 brands of beer. I tried to sample each one. I failed.
There you go, the first 10…nothing really that revealing, but now you know me that much better. Right?
This image below was taken when we were in Thailand in 2007. We went to a ladyboy show because that’s what you do when you’re in Thailand I guess. You eat pad-thai, drink $1 Tiger beer and go to ladyboy shows. The singer looks exactly like Beyonce. But it’s a dude. Boyonce I guess? (S)he actually had an amazing voice. We were completely blown away!
