New York Times Article

My contact at the New York Times emailed me this morning reminding me that the Sacred Harp article went live. I might have forgot, given how busy things are around here. The article is well written and it looks like they talked to a few of the right people. I was sort of nervous handing over my photos with the article sight unseen. The photo editor said they used two of my photos, but I only see one online. Maybe the other is in the print edition.

Postscript: I guess the print edition has two images. I'll have to pick up a copy when I go out today. Not sure which image they used for the second one.

Comments Are Back

I've been scratching my head as to why I haven't received any comments to this blog since resurrecting it in March. Turns out I had commenting disabled. Whoops! During the year of mass blog neglect I had disabled comments in an attempt to thwart the blog comment spammers, and well, I forgot to re-enable it. So umm, comment away!

On a side note: I have added a CAPTCHA to the comments form and have enabled moderated comments. Those seedy spammers shouldn't be able to infiltrate this blog!

As Seen in the New York Times

So I guess the New York Times is doing a piece on Sacred Harp conventions in their Escapes section. I was contacted this week by their photo editor who wished to use five of my WMSHC 2007 images to run along side the story. The article is to be published on April 20th and should appear both in print and on their web site. So keep an eye out for it. If I can link directly to their online edition I will do so here.

April Fool's Day

I've always liked when web site's play up the April Fool's humor. So for an April Fool's gag we decked out Amy's popular knitting web site with a new main page featuring yours truly.

Apparently, some of her forum members thought I looked like Peter Brady which is very funny. When I was younger (much younger!), I was often accused of looking like Bobby Brady. So I guess I am progressing through the Brady paternage.
