I recently picked up a gig writing for Urban Times, and decided to kick-start my time with them by posting a piece about how we use imagery to define the message of the Rust Belt (featuring a few of my photos taken in East Cleveland).
Please feel free to give it a read here and let [...]]]></description>

It’s no secret that having fantastic photography on your blog is a great way to garner interest and make it visually appealing. Not all of us, however, have the funding necessary to purchase fantastic stock photography. I am one of said people. When it comes time to illustrate my writing, I usually go one of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just wanted to share a fantastic success story that involves a lot of the things I&#8217;ve discussed on this blog. As writers, we don&#8217;t always get the pleasure of really turning our passions into something particularly profitable. Historically, that&#8217;s the way it&#8217;s been for me. Marketing writing, while at times quite lucrative, is not [...]]]></description>

Some were naturally progressing (spending more time with friends rather than being a mere workaholic recluse), but others are [...]]]></description>
