Congratulations to Marsha Black, on her new website, The Accidental Photographer, with “tips written for people who carry a point and shoot camera but don’t have a clue about how to get good photographs out of it.” Marsha’s book with the same title will be coming out soon.

Pology Launches New Online Travel Community

Laurie McAndish King — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 02:20:29 +0000

“Dear Friends, I am really excited to announce that Pology has launched a new travel-centric social network that allows users to share their travel photos, blog about their experiences, trade tips in discussion forums, and connect with other people living (and traveling) in their areas.

“Go to http://pology.ning.com or just go to pology.com and click on the ‘community’ tab on the main menu. Our social network is brand new, so it might take a little time before we have enough users for the social aspects to reach critical mass, but you can help to get everything started by signing up (it’s free), poking around the site,creating a profile, sharing your travel stories/pictures, starting discussion topics, and telling your friends!

“It’s a cool opportunity to share some of the experiences you have gained in your travels and make new friends from around the world.

“Hope you enjoy it, and if you have any feedback on how we can improve it, please let me know.

“Regards, Neil Schwartz
Managing Editor

Scott Fisher’s other blog, Fresh and Local, promises to be good reading; I’m going to keep an eye on it. The site will include “a directory of local farms, farmers’ markets, wineries, artisanal bakeries and cheese makers, and the like, as well as restaurants.” Scott is a knowledgeable food and wine critic; it was my great pleasure to dine with him recently in San Francisco.

Laura Read

Laurie McAndish King — Sat, 23 Sep 2006 12:17:11 +0000

I love Laura Read’s writing, and her Placer County: Back in the Pink — How one woman helped to revive profitability on the family farm is a great example of finding a local story. From the September 3 San Francisco Chronicle Magazine. By the way, I tasted the nectarines Laura wrote about, and she’s right — they’re unbelievably delicious.

Laura’s website, Read Write Shoot is here.
