My interests

[edit]

the history and art of photography

[edit]

I fell in love with photography as an art on seeing the work of Eugene Atget and Henri Cartier-Bresson. Other photographers whose work I find beautiful, intriguing and moving are: Diane Arbus, Lee Friedlander, Bill Brandt, Mary Ellen Mark, Harry Callahan, Aaron Siskind, Garry Winogrand, August Sander, Sally Mann, Josef Sudek, Bernd & Hilla Becher, André Kertész, Walker Evans, Julia Margaret Cameron and many many more....

Mycology

Armchair logic and critical thinking

[edit]

My father had a lively mind and would engage my sister and I in discussions about art, philosophy, politics, religion, epistemology. He introduced me to Straight and Crooked Thinking by Robert H. Thouless, a practical manual for assessing and critically analysing flaws in reasoning and argument. I have been insufferable ever since.

Classical music

I have quite catholic tastes:

Haydn, Scarlatti, Bruno Maderna, Elgar, Fauré, Brahms, Dowland, Purcell, Frank Bridge, Schoenberg, Ferneyhough, Bartok, Bach (J.S.B and C.P.E), Hans Werner Henze, Schumann...

Classical guitar

the Latin language

[edit]

Studied Latin at Secondary School. Then, much later as an adult, took it up again, using Teach Yourself Latin[1], Kennedy's Revised Latin Primer[2] and a decent-sized collection of Loebs and old French university text books which my mther's Latin teacher gave her. My favourite authors are Pliny the Younger, Petronius and Livy.
