if this isn’t an indictment of the notion that religious-based abstinence education works, I don’t know what is. Look at the states and tell me they aren’t all southern and religious.

Is short fiction moving toward original anthologies over magazines? I believe it is, judging from my sales lately.
Photo: Other People’s Children
Last Sunday, thanks to my good friend and sound engineering genius Nate Periat (the audio mastermind behind the Roundbottom podcasts), I had a chance to do a shoot of a couple of live bands here in town at the Cork. I’ve never shot in this kind of environment before, and honestly, it’s a bitch. The lighting was so absolutely low i had to shoot at ISO1600, which is just terrible, terrible noise with banding on my E-3 (not known for it’s ability to handle low light conditions). However, with some judicious high-contrast black and white processing, I think they turned out nicely anyway. I shot most of this with the pancake f2.8 25mm (50mm equivalent). Both bands were a breeze to shoot with. I just wish there had been more light. Pictured here is half the quartet that makes up Other People’s Children. Check them out if you like punkish metal.
Branching out as a photographer. Feels pretty good. Might lead to some good opportunities.
Special Print Offer-$75 signed 16x20 Prints (Of Anything!)
Between this very moment and Thursday night, you can order a 16x20 inch print of any of my photos for $75 (that includes shipping, which isn’t cheap for a print that size). Your print will be signed by moi.
How do I take advantage of this wonderful offer?
I’m glad you asked! Paypal the price to jeremy dot tolbert at tuginternet dot com. Include in this message your address and the name and/or link to the photo you want. In 2–3 weeks, you will receive a beautiful Fuji Luster print ready for framing.
Okay, I’m sold! Where can I find photos?
You can find photos on my Flickr account or this blog. Here’s the flickr stream.
Might I recommend checking out the photos in this set? or this one?
You don’t really expect us to go for this do you?
Nah. But I thought I’d give it a shot. And anyway, who knows? A print from me may one day be worth quite a bit more money than you paid… it’s probably equally as likely to make you money as putting it in the stock market these days. So consider it an investment int he arts.
Act Fast!
This offer is limited to the next ~48 hours! If you don’t take advantage of it, you will just have to wait until my print store opens later this year.
Read My Blog if LJ Goes Under
I’m sure you’ve heard the news that the company running LiveJournal has a non-technical skeleton crew manning the ship right now. A stiff breeze could take the whole thing down in that situation. Welcome to the Bush Economy! We may be getting rid of the man, but his effects shall be felt for years to come.
Anyway, The vast majority of my Blog readers are on LJ. Do me a favor? Go here: http://www.jeremiahtolbert.com/blog/
And bookmark my page so you can find me in a post-LJ world should you need to? Coming up soon, I’m going to try and make a post for LJ folks on RSS feed readers like Google Reader so that you can read all ofyour former LJ friends in one place should the unthinkable happen. In the mean time, it might not be a bad idea to download the XML files for all your posts in LJ in case you need to migrate to another service.
If you’re a member of the F&SF community from LJ and you’re relocating to new digs, drop me a line and I’ll post an announcement here about your move. I’ll keep an updated list of LJ handles. Hopefully this won’t be necessary, but if it is, I want to do something to help preserve the community.
Good Blog Readers! Everybody Gets a Biscuit
I’m not feeling well so about to go lay down for a bit, but I poked at Flickr Scout real quick and found the results of yesterday’s whoring for favs. You have all earned your keep today. As of this moment, my Frozen River shot has hit #70 in Flickr Explore. I cracked the top 100 for the first time ever. I owe it all to you. Now to scheme a way to crack the top #50! Thanks so much all of you, it makes my day, seriously.

Yesterday’s request to favorite and comment a photo over on Flickr was a great success. A ton of you put traffic on the image and I really appreciate it. For whatever reason, Flickr promptly dropped it out of Explore. Heh. So I guess I shouldn’t have asked, but thanks a bunch to all of you.
Here’s another HDR from New Year’s Day in the park. The bush in the lower left seems to make the shot for me.
