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.

Storefronts in Richmond have all sorts of interesting things to see. Recently, I visited the Vancouver, B.C. area. Among a number of goals, I had one that stood out: to sample the legendarily good Chinese food available in the suburb … Continue reading
The Addendum | Photojournalism and respect
At the Lansdowne SkyTrain station in Richmond, B.C. Sometimes I think that one of the main reasons I feel I am not particularly skilled as a photo journalist is that I’m just not enough of an a-hole for the job. … Continue reading
The Addendum | The Future of Beaverton?
The Future of Beaverton?, originally uploaded by route99west. I’ve rather provocatively titled this image “the future of Beaverton” with my tongue only partly in cheek. There are many ways that the pairing of Richmond/Vancouver does not hold as an analogy … Continue reading
