The NY Times: Documenting the Decade - Nine Mile Run

667 images out of more than 2,360 submissions to the NY Times, and mine was one of them!

"No further proof is needed that we’re in the era of the “citizen journalist” than the images coming daily from Tehran. But this gallery reminds us that most of the traumas of the last decade — as well as its triumphs — had public witnesses who were as well-equipped to record the moment as many professionals. The Times asked you to help us document the decade and you responded with some astonishing photographs and essays. Thank you."

Nice way to wrap-up the old and ring in the new!

As I head into the home stretch of 2009 I find that I am grateful for the quiet fragile things that still manage to hang on despite the weather and still-recovering ecosystem. Watching this Great Blue Heron gracefully unfold its 5 feet of wingspan and slowly lift its gray-blue body above the frozen stream and white snow I felt an unexpected priviledge, and a welcomed compensation after I had missed an earlier cobalt blue sky in a morning that seem to have much promise but clouded over within a few minutes in the typical Pittsburgh gray afternoon. There it was, and there it soon went. Much like the year. Goodbye, you beautiful creature. Hope to see you again ... soon.
