Inexpensive digital cameras have made photography increasingly accessible and prevalent. You probably know a couple photographers or at least some snapshooters.
But what about professional photojournalists? You know, the guys and gals like me who make pictures of people at their worst, talk you into a portrait on that bad hair day or make pictures of your kids at the playground while you start mentally preparing a police report about a potential pervert.
"Behind the Fold" will take you into the world of a newspaper photojournalist -- an endangered species of photographer who can go from a fatal fire to a kids carnival like it aint no thing.
I'll share outtakes and stories, and answer questions if you've got any.
So brace yourselves for shoddy metaphors and bumpy transitions as I shake off the rust from years without writing and maybe we'll be able foster some mutual understanding.

Ever thought about playing a musical instrument? It encourages brain development, it's entertaining, it expresses life's experiences and you could come closer to God.
First, it brings brain development. Although a challenge, it's fun to watch yourself grow. You will learn notes and pitches. When you learn an instrument, like the violin, you can also learn piano and viola
Second it's entertaining! When you start learning, you get better and people find it very entertaining! There are also bands and orchestras that people drive everywhere to see! Wouldn't it be cool to be so good people came from everywhere to see you play?

For those of you who are for the redistribution of wealth in this country, I have a suggestion for you. When you file your annual IRS form, include a check for whatever amount you would like to send to your favorite entitlement program. You can "earmark" it as the federal government knows all about earmarks. That way you can spend your money the way you want to and leave mine alone. I don't care how you spend yours but I do care about how you want to spend mine.
To all of you who think along similar lines as I do, please vote! Learn about what you are voting for or who and vote!

Dear Dave,
I'm saving up money to buy a house in the next couple of years. How should I invest this money before I actually buy something?

Fast Focus: What's your opinion of urban chickens? A few chickens
Fast Focus: What's your opinion of urban chickens? A few chickens
If you own your property, it is your right to do on it what you want. The city should not have a say in it! Grow weed if you want, it's yours.
Unless it brings harm to others, I say live and let live. You never know when a few chickens might come in handy.
Say our government prints their way into hyperinflation, you might be dependent on those chickens. Bock. Bock.
