I thought it was all about computers; Mac, PC fluent in both. I am happy to know how to use the tools of photo journalism, I might well use them again in a professional setting at some point.
I love storytelling and have always been most comfortable telling them with pictures, taken by someone else, through stories about someone else. This blog gives me a chance to tell my story with my pictures. It's really fun!
Speaking of fun and tools, Oh My! This week I had the chance to use power tools, crowbars and an axe. Dug out cobblestones, shoveled dirt and rocks into bags (it's NYC you have to leave the street clean) while my partner worked for hours to remove a steel barricade that was put in years ago and the tree held tight with it's roots. I loved the work as well as they looks of passersby, there are still some jobs folks are not used to seeing women do, especially those with greying hair.
Stayed tuned, photo of the completed project to come...

Fantastic post. Here I am, looking at your pictures and reading your words, listening to John Hicks playing on the radio, all of it bringing a sense of gratitude that I share with you your love of images and tools and learning...and being a woman with graying hairs!
