Description of Pictures: Peter Straub’s desire to learn to read at an early age led him to memorize his comic books and recite them over and over again until he could recognize the words. He also paid regular visits to the library in search of pirates, soldiers, detectives and spies and soon earned the reputation as a storyteller, in demand around campfires and in back yards. He began writing horror 30 years ago and is now the author of 17 novels which have been translated into more than 20 languages. His most recent novel, Lost Boy, Lost Girl (Random House, 2003; paperback, 2004), won the 2003 Bram Stoker Award and the 2003 International Horror Guild Award. He lives in New York City with his wife Susan, director of the Read to Me program.

2004 photos: Equipment this year: I bought two Fujifilm S7000 digital cameras. While they produced excellent images, I found all of the retractable-lens Fuji models had a disturbing tendency to get dust inside the lens. Dark blurs would show up on the images and the camera had to be sent back to the shop in order to get it fixed. I returned one of the cameras when the blurs showed up in the first month. I found myself buying extended warranties on cameras. Trips this year: (1) Margot and I went off to Scotland for a few days, my first time overseas. (2) I went to Hawaii on business (such a deal!) and extended it, spending a week in Hawaii and another in California. (3) I went to Tennessee to man a booth and extended it to go to my third Fan Fair country music festival. Number of photos taken this year: 110,000.
