Things of Interest

Things of Interest //
28, photojournalist, jack of all trades, former nomad, solitary traveler, historical reenactor, designer, former expat, sidecar motorcyclist, tallship sailor, pilot-in-progress, Hampshire College alum, voracious autodidact, socialist, Quaker. I live near Washington DC with my French boyfriend Marc and our two cats. Photos tagged "my photos" were taken by me. Posts tagged "this is my life" are from or representative of my life.

I'm interested in: Mongolia, Central Asia, WWII, clothing design, penpals, vintage motorcycles, alternative lifestyles, the 18th century, North/South Korean relations, social media, firearms, small space living, and nomadism.

I run Daily Reenactor, Always An Adventure, and Mongol Mania.

My fault, my failure, is not in the passions I have, but in my lack of control of them.

Roy Chapman Andrews (1184 - 1960) was a real-life inspiration for Indiana Jones, good at shooting things and wearing hats. :)
Chapman made five expeditions with horses, camels, and cars to Mongolia between 1922 and 1939, collecting rocks and animals. His most important discovery was getting lost in the Gobi and finding dinosaur nests in what he called the “Flaming Cliffs” (Bayanzag). Only one other group of dinosaur eggs had ever been found, so Andrews thought they were huge bird eggs.

So we had an in-class assignment today in my Illustration class where we used a blues name calculator to create blues musician alter-egos.
Mine came out as Peg Leg Legs Davis.

Mine is Toothless Bones-Eyes Rivers :/
