Photos of my workspace by Kyle Cassidy

[ellen_datlow]

Philadelphia photographer Kyle Cassidy is in the middle of a project to document genre writers' and editors' workspaces. He and his friend/helper Colin came by yesterday to photograph mine. Believe it or not I cleaned up the space a bit before they arrived. Anyway, it was fun and I talked about how I feel about the space and how almost everything I need to work is within reach. Afterward, they took me to the Art Bar (I'd never been there, even though it's across the street) where they proceeded to get me drunk on mojitos...tsk tsk. And Kyle posted about it while we were there.

It's NOT as large as it looks, although it would be a lot larger if all the books laying around the edges of the walls, next to my sofa, next to my cocktail/work table, etc etc were removed permanently :-)

Well, good luck with that! [::said the book hoarder::]

Oh I know it's hopeless. However, I'm getting the incentive to toss them, every time I trip and knock over a pile while switching my season clothing from the "library" closet to the bedroom closet and vice versa.

Never saw it but I sure can imagine it.
Interestingly (to me anyway)--more people have viewed my workspace photos than have viewed any of my other photos--and quicker :-)

must be...

the nosiness factor: We all want to know if you're a better housekeeper than we are, & if you have anything cool we might like to borrow. ;-)

Sure sounds like you've got a great idea here!
