I'm a writer and quite amateur photographer living in Brooklyn. Particular interests are architecture, landscape, JG Ballard-esque environments, the Cold War, vernacular design. I write for a variety of magazines, ranging from Wired to Conde Nast Traveler to Cabinet to I.D. to the London Review of Books, and I am the author of "Survival City: Adventures Among the Ruins of Atomic America," published in 2002 by Princeton Architectural Press.
