On Audio Slide Shows …

I teach all my students how to do them – and they do them well. The wire services have started to push them out, as well, which is fantastic. There are so many stories that...

Gear Guides

We’re getting close to that time of the year, the time when many of my students will start fretting about graduating. And it’s not so much the Becoming a Real Person Dilemma as it is what do I need to buy? I say it often – we do a great thing here at UGA in providing gear to our students....

Administrivia

File this under ego … today marks the second anniversary of the UGA PJ blog. While there was one experimental post in February, on March 5, 2007, the first two real posts went online – a look at the Faces of Rochester and another on low angle sports photography.

Final Edition

This has been all over the web already today. It was Twittered and emailed thousands of times. But in case you missed it, the Rocky Mountain News published its final edition on Friday morning.
