Open Mike

(Note: Some readers object to off-topic posts popping up whenever, so on July 29th, 2007, I decided to start writing them on Sundays only. On any Sunday when I feel like it, I post a completely off-topic mini-article that often has little to do with photography. (Call it an editorial, although why a blog would need an editorial page....)

All of them used to be called "Sunday Sermons," but are now labeled "Open Mike"—nice name courtesy of reader Matthew Allen—for the convenience of those who only want to hear from me about photography exclusively. If you're one of those folks, all you have to do is avoid any post with that title. All I can promise everyone else is that the content of the 'Open Mikes' will vary wildly. Probably the quality too, although I'll try my best. Cheers! —MJ.
