Re-Use and Sustainability

A new photographic / oral history session:

“Seems like the more civilized we get, the worse off we are. Wasn’t it Nero who fiddled while Rome burned?” asked Dan Hiscock. It was a different start to our conversation but it was hard to avoid the news from the day.

In what would become apparent in a short while, it was a day of contrasts. The negativity of the times with the contentment and satisfaction of an individual devoted to sustainability and self-resiliency.

Dan has kept his hands dirty in a lifetime dedicated to hard work. Now retired, he is devoted to two pursuits: gardening and mechanics, which lately has involved building cookers/smokers out of recycled parts.
