I believe that Steampunk is more than just brass and watchparts. It's finding a way to combine the past and the future in an aesthetic pleasing yet still punkish way. It's living a life that looks old-fashioned, yet speaks to the future. It's taking the detritus of our modern technological society and remaking it into useful things. Join me as I search for items for my house that combine the scientific romanticism of the Victorians with our real present and imagined future.

India by Rail
By the photographer Steve McCurry. This was featured on a cover of National Geographic on "India by Rail."
The steam engine, with the Taj Mahal in the background, makes for one of the most romantic steampunk images I've ever seen.
