My first grandchild arrived yesterday, 2:44 pm. A boy. :-)
Seeking green revolution photos
Are any Woophians documenting Iran and the Sea of Green revolution? I am surprised not to see more photos. I know it is dangerous, though. I have been riveted--obsessed even--for a week. Reading everything. You might like to follow one of these sites: http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/ http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/13/iran-demonstrations-viole_n_215189.html And Twitter, of [...]
Shanghai house, unusual story
A couple Woophians have asked me about the green house in Shanghai.
Here is what I wrote to my friends 2/19/07:
I harassed J and driver, Mr. Wong, until I got to see this house:

Early in J's Shanghai sojourn, he told me about a lecture near Harvard [...]
More winter
I am writing for two reasons: (1) We just had another foot of snow when most of you in Europe are seeing spring flowers. I am about to go out and take pictures. (2) I didn't want the latest blog post to be about marketing [...]
Non-photo blogging on a photo blog
Until I read today's post from someone in China selling discount Gucci shoes, I thought maybe I should not be blogging about anything non-photographic. After all, a Woophian chided me a while ago for mentioning politics. But I am not a great photographer and don't [...]
U.S. Border Update
My daughter's friend has been deported. (See the previous posts.) He cannot apply to return for 10 years. This is very sad for him and for his fiancee, another friend of my daughter. I think the fiancee will leave the country soon. One's perspective changes [...]
Thank you for the comments
I appreciate all the comments, pro and con. For those of you who are OK with a little politics, here are some inaugural photos you will like: http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2009/01/the_inauguration_of_president.html?p1=Well_MostPop_Emailed1 I wish I had taken even one of them. Meanwhile in U.S. immigration detention, it's not looking good. My daughter's [...]
Obama today, Obama tomorrow
Today the president elect and the vice president elect are setting a good example for Americans by doing some volunteer work (Obama in a shelter for homeless teens). Tomorrow they will assume office. Where I work, there will be a big-screen TV in the cafeteria, [...]
Snowy day in Massachusetts
It's a snowy Sunday and I am whiling away the time on Woophy as I have a bad cold. Woophy is the most interactive thing I have found on the web. I like the sense that I am always in touch with someone or other [...]
First human ever photographed
On one of my favorite web sites, I just saw something Woophy People will like: http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/01/the-first-human.html The picture shows the "first human ever photographed" getting his shoes cleaned in Paris -- sitting still for ten minutes while the Daguerrotype captured him.
