…thus spoke Who-a-thustra?
Last week, fellow Bay Area photographer and weblogger Jim Goldstein released part one of a two-part interview with yours truly. In the interview, I discuss my background, including my work with Galen Rowell, my personal interests, and the fine art of seeing light. The entry on his site will offer options for ipod [...]

I found a few things that I’d like to pass along for your web cruising entertainment, etc..

In otherwords, it simply scans html pages for similar words. When I checked out my home page, a good number of web sites came up, which should have been [...]
