Pruning Photos
Football man! Originally uploaded by josh.ev9. Last week I read in an ask.metafilter forum that was discussing photography, and how to improve one’s skills.

Best. Radio. Show. Ever.
You could call me an avid This American Life listener. The first half of the How To episode is by far my favorite segment ever. Imagine Ira Glass, Sarah Vowell, and the CarTalk guys, all in one episode. Great stuff. I almost laughed out loud a number of times on the way home this evening.…

Do you see it?
There’s something different about my blog compared to the last time you saw it. First right guess gets a prize. Maybe it’ll be you. (Maybe a better prize will go to the third guess…) Josh
