In other news, I’m now back at Middlebury, taking a class in Creative Nonfiction (we have a class blog) and so am starting a new blog for those writings. I’ll probably still post the more polished pieces over here if they’re relevant, but if anyone’s interested in following my writings more closely, head over to the new blog, Reflections on a Ridiculous Place.

Here’s a little preview to whet your appetite!

Then I’ll reupload them. So far I’ve gotten through 2 of the few dozen folders… so I have a ways to go, but they should all be up by XMas at the latest. I’ll also probably be posting a copy of the slideshow I eventually make up, as well as a smaller gallery of choice shots to post directly on this site for easy viewing, since flickr can be kind of overwhelming. But, for now you should be able to see them there.

Be warned, the images are large (up to 5mb), and loading them takes a while even on a cable connection, but its worth it. Click an image to load the viewer, then click and drag to navigate (pan the ‘camera’), or zoom in/out with shift/control. When you’re sufficiently impressed, pres ESC to exit. There will still be a small viewer at the bottom of the page, which might be a bit smoother if the full screen is too intense for your computer. Then click on the panorama you want to see next to load it full-screen!

So far there are 4 or so up, but I have several more waiting to be uploaded… so check here for updates.
