As part of my blog post series Lunar Impact, Get Ready for it!, my last post Thanksgiving on an Exponential Order discussed what we all share and can be thankful for as a world community. Another aspect of global community was expanded on in In The Shadow of the Moon as Buzz Aldrin shared in his interview; upon return to Earth after being part of the first mission landing on the moon, he and Neil Armstrong returned t

The results are in for the “Buying Prints from Your Favorite Photographers” blog project. Turn out was decent albeit smaller than I would have hoped. Considering that during the span of this project September 17th to November 8th our economy has been in a meltdown and the attention of many has been consumed by the recent U.S. Presidential election… it could have been worse.
