Over the past couple years I’ve established this as a photography blog unsullied by excessive amounts of these pesky word-things, largely because I spend much more time these days taking photos than I do putting together word-things but also because it seems to function well as a humble record of the local events I photograph.

I’ve been pretty happy with this arrangement…until recently, when a certain blogger friend of mine started pestering me for a guest post for his blog.  I hemmed and hawed for a little while — okay, for several months — until I finally glued together a bundle of nouns and verbs for his blog.  I thought that was the end of it…until last week, when I glued together another bundle of nouns and verbs for another blogger friend.  If you’re curious and haven’t yet seen the posts, here’s what you need to know:

The first post appeared over at Ricky Anderson’s blog.  It’s a relatively lengthy piece detailing my perspective on life as a Euphemism-American.  If you don’t know what a Euphemism-American is, then you should go read the post.

The most recent post appeared over at robshep.com.  It’s a shorter piece detailing the efficiency of the A-Team’s methods and how their expertise could help the federal government with its debt problem.  I gave it to Rob because Ricky has never seen the original A-Team.  (I’ll wait while you pick your jaw up off the floor.)  If you’ve never seen the A-Team, it might not make much sense to you.

If you just come here for the pictures and don’t much care what I have to say with all those word-things, then you should probably forget you ever read this post.  Otherwise…enjoy.
