Adventures in Photoblogging, Part 1: An American Hero (Wizbang)

Last week, I threatened to branch out a bit into other fields, away from news and politics. I posted some poetry, to mixed reviews. Now, I'm going to dabble in photoblogging.

I set up a free account with PBase, and have started building some galleries. I'm going to write introductory essays for them, linking to them in turn.

The first one is dedicated to Rene Gagnon of Manchester, New Hampshire. I wrote about him and a couple of his buddies last May 31, and last summer I visited his memorial with my camera. I finally got around to working on the photos and posting them on line. So, if you're interested, please go read my old piece, then click over to here and see how the city of Manchester honors one of its most distinguished sons.
