Portrait of Pat Jordan, photo copyright John Loomis Photography & used with permission.
“Mr. Jordan like most journalists (discounting of course broadcast “journalists” who haven’t qualified for that distinctive title for, oh, well, 30 years) does not like to have his picture made, even though the dude is in ridiculously good shape. It’s an ego thing, [...]

I almost fell out of my chair when I read the following words. The unconcealed message is extraordinarily inspiring:
“As a journalist, I’m a post processor. I don’t cry while I photograph funerals. I don’t clap when I hear a message I like. I react days, weeks later. [...]

Heaven sent, there are so many great comments on photography and life these last few days. As I juggle multiple personal commitments at the moment, please enjoy.

Scott, I. Love. This. Photograph. You. Rock.
The wallpaper, the screen image, the low composition, the mood from the lighting — beautiful, just beautiful. It strikes a serious visual chord in me. You just made my month. See more of Scott here, here (love this one too), [...]

Yes, I’ll take a large helping of content with tweets on the side, please. On your right sidebar there is a new section of tidbits of interest (maybe?) recently culled from the usual blogging suspects and my own patter. Call it a form of microblogging, I see it as a way to highlight great items [...]
