Decided we needed a screen for the new fire pit. Turns out you can get a screen in any size you want if you’re willing to click pay now.

Went to see the University of Georgia Theater Department’s performance of Rent, which featured one of my kids. Great show, great energy.

We did a picture editing exercise in the intro class today. Teams had to narrow down a large stack of prints to just ten, then sequence them. Learning how images flow, how you build a narrative, is a key part of photojournalism. Dumping dozens of images in a gallery isn’t journalism, it’s click-scavenging.

The foster pup is getting medicated baths every other day to help with her skin. She is not impressed.

Meanwhile … we’re now fostering a little pupper. She’s in rough shape, missing most of her fur behind her neck. Licorice is not yet impressed at our benevolence.

After many years of service, my cheap metal fire pit gave up the ghost last week – rotted through the bottom. So, why not upgrade?

This was shockingly easy to make. Less than two hours, start to finish, after getting back from the big box store with the pieces. Very happy with how it turned out.
