what ever happened to this awesome idea?
Hold tight, dear friend. Hold tight…
So, the faithful out there will notice that I haven’t written in a little while, and when I have posted, it has usually been a photo from my Flickr account (see right). Well, I’m here to let you know that I’m still here, and I wanted to let you know what’s been eating my time up.

Back then, I was a freelancer in the middle of a 6 month contract at Present Focus Inc., (www.presentfocus.com) “a state of the art high definition video production company located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan offering the latest in HD technology as well as the finest in digital and film photography.” The seven months I ended up working there were some of the most interesting of my life. At 22, to my own astonishment, I was the online editor for an eight-part National Geographic Channel International series.

Still, I can’t help but kvell over the whole thing.
Also, NowPublic seems like a pretty awesome idea, here’s a blurb from their mission statement: Read on…
Look at that face.
Well, I’m back in the states and pining to return back to Israel. I can at least prolong my intellectual return to the cold weather and fast paced nature of New York by going through my photos of the trip. Keep your eyes peeled, I’l be putting more up as time goes by.
