1. List five things you'd like to accomplish by the end of the year -- meet with my photo club; finish scrapbooking my trip through Eastern Europe; get to the B&W darkroom; write to some of the new friends i made while traveling, and send 'em photos; buy a new bookshelf, get it painted and assembled...

2. List five people you've lost contact with that you'd like to hear from again -- Swazz & Gabriel are my only MIAs

3. List five things you'd like to learn how to do -- make a turducken; speak, read and write Russian; speak, read and write Spanish; surf; medium-format pinhole photography

4. List five things you'd do if you won the lottery (no limit) -- set up scholarships for former students of NYPL's adult literacy program; fund after-school photography clubs for NYC high schools; build libraries; fund limb-replacement clinics and mine-removal programs; and travel....

5. List five things you do that help you relax -- go the darkroom; swim in the ocean; listen to Blue Rodeo; surf the web; browse through expensive photography and home design books and magazines.
