I had to go back and look up the date. A couple of days ago, August 10th, was the first anniversary of this blog! Yeah! Part of me wants to downplay it. I tend to do that with things I value, from a long ago lesson that if I really care about something it will …

Lessons of a Camera
It’s strange. I come from a family of avid photographers, but it’s not my hobby.

It's Like He Wrote This For Me
I am a person who is great at making lists, but not so great at doing something with the items on my list. Having just discovered Mashable a few days ago, I am delighted that Jordan English Gross is already inside my head with his new article, 5 Steps to Getting Unstuck and Pursuing Your …
