- David The Gnome
Although I am 275 years old, I am not really old at all. My parents and even my grandparents are still alive. I am only 15 cm tall, but my cap makes me look much taller. I wear a red one so that my friends the birds don't mistake me for a mouse as I scurry through the forest after nightfall. Male gnomes let their beards grow and grow. We only ever trim them for special occasions like weddings, visits from relatives or before setting out on long journeys.

We enjoy just playing music for our owners, and bringing them butter toast at night. But for some reason, we get stollen alot.

For the past 20 years, I have been travelling with friends and photographing each step of my nationwide journey. About three or four years ago, when I was peacefully resting in my backyard in Pasadena, an adventurous young woman liberated me from what could have been a boring, dull, forced retirement by my family. I have her to thank for my many recent trips and journies. Ever since that quiet Sunday morning, I have been photographed with many people in many places.
