Believe it or not, you’ve already stumbled onto a significant portion of my life. I write constantly; short stories,  scintillating essays, some journalism. The pieces I’m not getting paid for end up on this blog, or on my other blog, Equivocality. I consider these my “non-fiction” and “fiction” blogs, or perhaps my “about me” and “about everyone else” outlets. JonathanStray.com is the “everyone else” blog, despite the fact that it bears my name and the other one doesn’t. Confusing, isn’t it?

But this particular page is about me.

So: I write, I photograph, I am a founding member of the fire-art group Interpretive Arson, best known for a ridiculous installation involving shooting people with flamethrowers. I consult for Adobe Systems on the design of computer graphics software for artists. I’ve spent half of the last five years of my life traveling in Europe, Africa, Asia, and South America (poco). And I spend a lot of time reading, and not nearly enough  talking to people I find interesting.

I administer the Writer’s Travel Scholarship, I currently live in San Francisco with one black cat, and I once wrote an erotic haiku about calculus.

You should contact me if you think I should be writing about something in particular, or even if you just want to chat.
