Delays

Well, my trip to China seems to have been delayed. Because of the Earthquake in the Sichuan province, the teaching semester got pushed back by 2 weeks, which means that they don't start the new semester until 2 weeks later. Additionally, China has some sort of national holiday which is 1 week long, and thus, I start teaching 3 weeks later than originally intended. C'est la vie.

I'm Officially a Pro

Well, its official. I am a professional travel photographer (and writer). The San Joaquin Magazine has decided that I am awesome, and because of that they decided to give me a story. It's a small travel piece on Santa Monica. Check it out, and if you really like me, write a letter to the editor letting them know how much you liked the photos and the writing for the story. Ill make it easy for you to do: Send your praise to tony@insidemagazines.com. Support the arts (by supporting me!). One love, rasta.

The Days of Old

Remember the olden days when blogs were hip and people updated fairly often? I feel that fad has come and gone. People no longer care about publishing their lives (with the exception of a few), and people no longer care to read about the day to day events of a friend's life. So we maintain a feigned interest by checking up on others every once a month, or even once every couple months. Sadly, though, I feel that this has allowed us (yes, I'm talking about yourself and myself, dear reader) to become more distant than I would like. So in that light I am extending a friendly hand in the form of more posts. Whether they be writing or photos, I will try to update this blog more often. Maybe all I do is write a blurb, but I will try to make this a weekly format. When during that week? Well, I make no promises in that regard. So now, I bet you're wondering what I get out of it? I just want to know you are still there. Thanks for reading.
