I hope. I’ve been swamped, but I’ve also been coding. Remember the UGA Photojournalism blog I’ve been working on for the last 2.5 years? Yeah, dead. Gone. Built something new and, hopefully, better – check it out at VisualJournalism.info.

Up, Hopefully
Sorry for the silence (again). (How many posts have I started with that?) (Don’t look, I don’t want to know.)
Things have been hectic. Buried at work, feeling sort of lost outside of work. Not been fun. But this morning I looked up as we were leaving one of our school’s fall festivals and thought this looked a little like I felt – cloudy, but I know the blue sky is up there. Just need to get back to it.

Soft and Pointy
We took a short trip to camp up in South Carolina. Beautiful site, right on the water. I could have sat there for a week with a book in my lap and my eyes closed to the world.
Maybe I will …
