I'm a hip, kilt-wearing, Scottish Gopher, in search of the perfect 18 holes of Golf. I am a conservative liberal; a fundamentalist agnostic; a gun-toting humanist; a bon-vivant. I post no bills. I cross at the green, not in between. I have ducked and covered, stopped, dropped, and rolled, and have survived the era of the polyester leisure suit. Ich war ein Berliner. I am constantly evolving despite the influences of intelligent design. I never take anything too seriously. I am the Scottish gopher, of whom your mother warned. Your mother did warn you of Scottish gophers, no?
I take a lot of bad photos. Sometimes, I take a decent one. Enjoy the good, critique the bad. All comments are welcome. And I do mean All. I love creative criticism and I have a thick skin.
If I have offended you, it was unintentional. I did too much herbal tea in the 80's.

Hamish is too modest in his self promotion. Born into a family of working class coal miners in Edinburgh, Hamish dreamed of a better life. He traveled to England and apprenticed at the esteemed Royal Institute of Tyre Retreading in Manchester. After graduating at the bottom of his class he went to worked as the official revulcanizer of David Beckham's worn out football shoes. His passion for photography started with his desire to memorialize every repaired insole. My brother Hamish has indeed evolved into the premier purveyor of photographic inferiority. His photos have appeared in both "Don't Explore" and "Uninterestingness", repeatedly. Thankfully, this hobby is less perilous than his former endeavors of javelin catching and leopard herding.

However, he is also a connoisseur of the fine photography of others. How can one be both a connoisseur and a dilettante? Well, it is the secret of Scottish gopherness.

Hamish Kneidalhandler is the definitive hip, Scottish gopher. His talent for photographing mundane subject matter (and keeping it mundane) is unsurpassed. He is indeed the most amateur of the current generation of amateur photographers. His collection of photos of the inside of lens caps brought me to tears. Likewise, I am moved by the photos he does not take. His blank slide collection of which he encourages you to imagine your own photo within, is awe inspiring, and avant garde. Not content to seize the moment with his own creation, he graciously allows you to do the work for him.
