Hello, lovelies.
There's more besides these in the works (like that film screening! Give me time!), but in terms of what's been nailed down thus far:
- November 23rd: Holiday Bookfest, in Greenwood. Reading and discussion with myself and other local authors. I may not be driving the 5 anymore, but with August's Greenwood Senior Center reading and this, I feel like I'm in the neighborhood just as regularly. Say hi to Tom at Phinney Books!
- December 6th: Book talk with Susanna Ryan at the Lake Forest Park Third Place Books. This is going to be huge. Susanna Ryan is fantastic, and I couldn't be more excited to do a double-headed book-loving bonanza of a night with her.
- Date Unknown: I'm an author in the upcoming fall issue of ARCADE Magazine (37.2 Liminal Spaces). A bit more on that here.
- February 19th: You love the thought of going to an hour-long lecture on a weeknight. Yes, it's true. I promise to make this fun! MOHAI has been gracious enough to allow me to host one of their ongoing History Café series. Mine will be called "What Bus Lines Tell Us About Seattle."
- February 27th: Nonfiction Visiting Writer at PLU in Tacoma. I don't make it down there often, but I hope to make this worth your while, with a day of various events. Stay tuned.
Elliott Bay Book author event: thoughts afterwards
Did you miss my book launch? Probably not, since there were a million people there... But if you did– or if you want an event more focused around discussion on the book itself, since that show was really largely more about the photographs, or if you want to stop by and just hang out again, or bring your friends, or if you maybe just want to pummel me with bus questions (please!), please come.
I'd be thrilled to see you.
The book is now on sale at Third Place Books in Lake Forest Park. It continues to be for sale at Phinney Books and Madison Books, and, of course, Elliott Bay (link to purchase online!).
UPDATE: thoughts on this event, which turned out to be one for the ages. It's getting to be where I say this after every event, but please know I mean it every single time: Thanks for a turnout I could never have dared dream of.

Kindness in a Glance: Book Launch and Art Show, October 13
This show has since passed, as you can glean from the date, but I offer a recap of all the lil' goodies it contained here, in case you missed it: The Details: Photos, Process, Statements.
Some thoughts on how the show turned out.
The Stranger advert with map etc here.

Elsewhere, I'm focusing my artistic energies on post-producing my latest film, which you can read more about here.
Below are some writings and video on previous events.
- This show featured large-scale prints from the last color darkroom in the US, which just closed its doors for the last time. Read more here and here.
- It was also the launch of my new book, The Lines That Make Us, a personal curation of the best stories of this blog. Learn more here and here!

SEATTLE ART MUSEUM! One night only!
This event took place March 6. Thanks for coming, and making that the biggest turnout for any of SAM's "My Favorite Things" tours, ever! A few thoughts of mine on the show here.
"The Full Nathan!" has come down,
but don't let that stop you from watching the speech below from the opening night. This (solo) show was a tongue-in-cheek "retrospective" featuring a sizable body of work in photography, film, illustration, and writing- read the Seattle Times review here. Click here to purchase art, and for a 3D tour of the gallery!
