Billy Hutchinson, 56, sits in his shop on East Pike Street in Seattle on a quiet Sunday afternoon. His tiny business specializes in popular antiques such as old skateboards from the '70s and vacuums from the '50s. "I love this place, all 400-or-so square feet of it," Hutchinson said.

Eric Brown, 52, stands amid the toasters he has been collecting for about 15 years. He currently owns about 230 toasters, half of which are located in the Toaster Museum and Hoop Factory in the Dreamspace Studios in downtown Bellingham. Seated next to him is the “Incredible Being of Light,” a robot he built out of straws and other clear plastics. Brown eventually intends to make each toaster into a work of art, but keeps his art supplies on display in the meantime. “It's more the mechanics and aesthetics of the chrome than the toaster,” Brown says when asked what draws him to toasters.

"Sailing is all I've done all my life," said Gordon Garlick, 88, who has spent the past eight years building his own steamboat. "But sailing takes agility, and I'm too old for that now. That's the reason I built the steamboat." Garlick is holding a photo taken of him with his steamboat on July. 19, 2008, the first day he took it out on the water.

Abby Staten, 44, a yoga teacher ad therapist, is doing the beginning stretches to her yoga routine in her studio at Everybody's Yoga in Bellingham, Wash. on Oct. 21. "For me, yoga is a way of creating spaciousness inside, of moving from contraction to expansion at all levels, so that my body feels healthy and the things that normally get me down has less of a charge," Staten said.
