external monologue

st.paddy's

some of you may have noticed that i didn't post the "daily" photograph yesterday, which may actually be a first for me. not that i haven't missed days before, but on a work day, when i'm at the office and in front of my computer all day i rarely skip it. yesterday was one of those days where i walked in and the rest of the day felt like a race. clients were calling from the moment i walked in, and it didn't hit me until mid-afternoon that i hadn't blogged. so, for anyone who was counting on a photo yesterday, i apologize, but i think i'll more than make up for it today.

today's photo is another backlog; one i've been hanging onto for a while. i think it's my favorite building downtown: the volunteer building. i probably take a picture of it at least once a month for one reason or another. i'll be getting the car back tomorrow, along with my camera (and a few slices of pizza that have been in there since sunday, ugh), so hopefully we'll be back up to speed later in the week.

for those of you in chattanooga, you might have seen some of my photos in the latest pulse issue. mesh, josiah and i did a series of pieces entitled "drinking in chattanooga," one of which was a documentary-style piece on the brewing of beer. through miscommunication and lack of space my photos we're unfortunately shrunk to a miniscule size for publication, so the editor agreed to put a link to my website at the end of the article. so, if you go looking on the homepage, you'll see a new link to the images and text that we're originally supposed to run. that makes for a total of 9 photographs on this post... enjoy.

mom and dad are still in town, and we've been living like kings. dinner at st.john's monday night, and la altena last night with a party of at least 15 - my father generously picking up the tab for everyone's burritos and negra modelo's. board meetings start tonight, and i leave for st.louis in the morning, so unfortunately this royal lifestyle will shortly be coming to an end.
