I’ve been away…

4th
Mar. × ’10

Feb. × ’10

Here’s an experiment with a new podcast format. I post photos of where I’ve been and what I’ve seen, but talk about it in an mp3 file. The two may or may not refer to each other closely, depending on what there is to talk about compared to what to see. This may or may [...]
