About
THE ADDENDUM is an occasional blog about cities, culture, books, writing, photography, and painting. Here is where I post my thoughts and reflections, updates about projects I am working on, and other original content.The blog takes its name from small publications that were inserted into books with corrections, additions, and expansions, allowing a book to be updated without reprinting; THE ADDENDUM serves much the same function for this site.
For links and snippets of things I find interesting, see Tumblr or Twitter.
