A few weeks ago, a photograph I had taken for my weekly newspaper was named the 2012 runner up for best sports photo by the Syracuse Press Club. The next night I filed my weekly education column, "School is IN." Two days later, the paper was out of business and I found myself somewhat stranded.
The thing about being a photojournalist is that one needs an outlet for his work. Shooting photos that no one sees makes you a voyeur and writing something that no one sees makes you a diarist.
When several friends suggested I start a blog, I resisted -- I don't like the term "blog" and I don't like the easy accessibility that it provides to whomever wants to write. However, since I want to write, I decided to drop the elitist attitude and take a shot at it.
So -- starting in a few days, I will.
