Brandon with Martin the nocturnal monkey-Chulumani 2007

Brandon at the piano playing "Bourbon Street Blues"

Brandon is an interesting character. He lives in a creative mind of his own. At times he seems uninterested in the day to day world that he is forced to engage. When left to his own a different vitality emerges. He is musical and creative. One of his greatest assets is to be able to combine mediums of design into workable objects. (I’m thinking Legos and stuffed animals here, but it transcends into other areas as well.) In arts he is like his mother and in crafts like me. I hope that in his life he can design the cars and airplanes he dreams of, and may get to see them built.
