While the government ‘round here continues to be utterly indifferent to my communication needs (like they have billions of people to govern or something), I would like to give due credit to a wonderful friend who is channeling my writing to you. The lovely Nicole Jobst, fellow Drake journalism grad and therefore sympathetic to the cause of uncensored communication, has offered to be my personal proxy.
In addition to being a superb friend and empathetic journalist, Niki is also an outstanding photographer. She recently opened a shop on etsy.com, iowaphotography.etsy.com, where nature- and Iowa-lovers can find one-of-a-kind shots of the home state I dearly miss. As a side note, I didn’t know about etsy.com at all until she opened this shop, and it’s a really great site for finding handcrafted goods from around the world. And maybe if you consider yourself crafty, there’s a business venture in it for you, too. Definitely worth a look.
Take-home message: Niki is pretty great for helping me out, and in turn I would like you to help her out by checking out her photo shop and sharing it with anyone you think might be interested in an attractive slice of Iowa’s backyard.
On the photography note, I’ve established a flickr account to share some of my photos. I can’t post too many because they are huge and there are monthly upload limits. I’ll try to establish some sort of rotation. For now, my ID is whitneyd2009. You can check out photos of Shijiazhuang, Chengde and my apartment.
Also, while I can’t sign in to blogger or facebook to respond to your comments, please keep posting them if you have them, and hopefully I will re-enter virtual society sometime soon.
Thanks for reading!
