The pictures were taken with a rickety old camera.

The man who gave me the catapult carved a cross on it so that the all-seeing-eye might help my aim.

Things I used to wear around my neck: a shark’s tooth, fish vertebrae, a 13 Amp fuse…

Amongst these pocket knives is a U.S. army knife given to me by my granddad.
I’ve always imagined it once belonged to a WWII liberator.

This is a soup package brought back from the Czech republic.
