I'm Brian. I'm a writer, photographer, and one time filmmaker. I enjoy physical ephemera from my travels, books, fountain pens and related stationery, and ghosts! I also make my own hardcover journals and have been keeping them since the mid-90's. I have lived in D.C., Philadelphia, New York, Seattle, and Chicago, as well as China, Poland, Malta, and most recently, Ukraine. I'm now living in quiet and peaceful Maine, but always have the itch to move to a new place again.
