I’m pleased to announce some big changes to this site and my online persona, as it were. After many years, I’ve taken to heart some suggestions to start making my photos and music available for anyone to own and have in their very own home. Here is the album cover for my first released CD, now available at CDBaby.com and shortly listed on iTunes, Amazon and others. I have others in the queue as well. Also, all my photos are getting transferred to a lab where you can get greeting cards, prints, framed prints, even framed canvas murals of them. I have sent over 100 photos from the Philippines so far and the rest are coming in the next few weeks. You can click nearly any photo on my site to go to my online gallery here.

Thanks to everyone for being a loyal audience and I hope you’ll find these improvements as great an idea as I do.

Tonight, with the passing of Steve Jobs, I can only say: look how you changed our lives!

That same week, this was the Newsweek headline:

If you missed it 2 years ago, here’s the video of that festival.

A friend of mine recently had a tour from inside the construction facilities at the new World Trade Center. Here are some pictures she took; talk about some up-close and personal access to what is arguably the most significant construction project in the world right now. Click any photo for a larger view.

Looking out from many stories above. The photographer, of course, wears a hard hat.

Looking down into the Ground Zero pit. This used to be a huge underground mall and transportation center… it strives to be all the better, going forward.

The new WTC lobby takes shape, and size.
