Posts may be a little thin on the ground this week. I am away at the PSNZ conference in Wanganui, where I am giving a talk this Saturday am on going for honours. I m areally looking forward to it. Trent Parke, the Magnum photographer, will be speaking, along with oither photographic luminaries.
For that reason, the posts may be a little thin this week. However I still get email on my BarackBerry, so any comments, arguments, discussions that you care to post will be uploaded to the blog. Note: I moderate every post, so you don’t get to see the spurious ones, offering all sorts of gross opportunities ( 13,700 of them to date).
Finally, this in. Today’s image is from the Fiji Times, captured while chatting to a friend on Skype yesterday. Fiji, in our back yard, appears to be heading down the same road as Zimbabwe ( I hope not).
Freedom of the press is a cornerstone of democracy. Quis custodiet custodies?
