Word and image, history and art have been my intertwined passions for decades now. When it comes to the written word, I have been an editor and a journalist. I have ten years of experience as a social studies textbook editor: two in-house at Pearson, eight as a freelancer, in which I covered the gamut from proofreading to selecting primary sources and photos for ancillaries to writing textbook chapters for remedial readers. I also have 5 years of experience as a journalist in Northumberland County, Ontario, where I wrote and took photos for the (now defunct) News Now Network. During that time, I covered local culture (such as interviewing local artists), events (taking photos of things like Float Your Fanny Down the Ganny), and politics (covering local council meetings and interviewing the local MP and MPP). Then there’s my teaching experience. I taught Latin for a year at Pulaski Academy in Little Rock (putting that Medieval Studies degree to use!). Then I was a contract faculty member at York University in Toronto for five years, teaching in the Humanities and History departments – using my editorial experience to help students improve their writing skills. My photographic interests started long before I was a journalist: I have been a fine art and commercial photographer for fourteen years. For my personal projects (at (billhornbostelphotography.com), I mainly photograph landscapes and architecture, but on the commercial side I also engage in small product photography, photographing artwork, and restoring old photographs.
