I was born in Michigan and raised in Texas, Missouri, Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan, but mostly on a farm in Michigan. Here are my obsessions: water, ancient Rome, infrastructure, SuperFund, airplanes, silent film, panopticons, P.T. Barnum, photography, lies, the 1930s, Niagara Falls, EPA, Edward Wormley, consumerism, and rhinoceroses, especially one named Clara who lived in the 18th century.
