Updating...

i’ve been shooting a lot of black and white images lately with my blackberry storm, here are a couple and you can see more on my flickr photostream(and don’t forget to order prints!).

of all the traveling and photo-capturing i’ve done this last week, this one somehow makes it into the upload folder first – a camera-phone image of a newspaper vending machine here in town. -h

as a follow-up to my recent post about the importance of bringing our troops home, i’d like to inform everyone reading this that you can help bring our troops home simply by signing the online petition below. it takes just a minute or two to fill out and send, and your petition gets delivered directly to your state/region’s elected representatives in the senate and congress.

please do what you can to send this along to friends as well. it only takes a minute to email to your friends right from the form, so please, let’s do our part to show those serving in the armed forces that we care… -h (read on below)

from the petition form:

George Bush is bullying Congress to give him $102 billion more to continue the disastrous occupation of Iraq into 2009 and beyond. Bush’s Iraq disaster has already cost American families the loss of 4,000 soldiers and cost American taxpayers $562 billion, and could cost $3 trillion if it continues.

The occupation of Iraq has greatly increased Al Qaeda terrorism worldwide, devastated the morale of American troops through repeated deployments and lowered recruiting standards, increased oil prices to $110 per barrel, and pushed the U.S. economy into a recession.

George Bush is defying the will of the American people, who elected a Democratic Congress in 2006 to end the occupation. Polls consistently show over 60% of Americans disapprove of the occupation, and over 70% of Iraqis want us to leave.
