Here's the text of the about page from my upcoming book of photos, which seems easier than deciding what to say all over again:

He collects books, bones, icons, skulls, and tokens. When not out with his camera he's usually busy making papier-mache masks in preparation for parading the streets of New Orleans during carnival season.

An epicure of the first order, Kevin understands the finer points of everything from the subtle nuances of French cuisine to the soul-saving Waffle House. You would do well to pay attention, because he has much to teach you.

I've known Kevin for 15 years. He always cleans his plate. He kicks pigeons and calls it "tough love". Kevin raises a stink at the library if the braille books are starting to go flat.

His date to the senior prom was a baby bird that had fallen out of its nest. Once a week Kevin asks each of his friends if he can help them move. In short, he's alright.
