Because I'm curious about such things....

[David R Munson]

Bear with me here. I'm interested in other aspects of other photographers' lives. To that end, ten questions:

1. Should you find yourself to be male, with what manner of razor do you shave?
2. Manual or automatic transmission?
3. Do you fish?
4. Do you enjoy woodworking?
5. What other activities do you enjoy in a way similar to how you enjoy photography?
6. Pen or pencil, and what kind?
7. Blue ink or black? (or......?)
8. Do you like to cook?
9. Favorite artist?
10. If you're listening to music right now, what artist/song/piece/etc?
