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 me know what you think: does the visual expression of the Rust Belt’s  decline illicit a call to action, or does it give us a bad rap?
Here’s a nifty article I wrote about Volunteering and Community Involvement, the second on my series about Conscious Living.
Do you volunteer? What do you do to give back to your community (especially you Akronites)? If you’d like to get involved, check out some of these great causes in our area:
Battered Women’s Shelter of Summit and Medina Counties
Humane Society of Greater Akron
There is bound to be something you would enjoy getting involved in, great people of Akron! If you’d like to find more great opportunities, check out Volunteer Match Akron.
