Courtesy of the United States Post Office: Poland Maine Branch The day before I left Maine, I packed up my scanner to ship back to Arizona. I picked my sister up for our evening in Freeport and asked her where the nearest post office was. She directed me to the one in her home town [...]

One of the primary purposes for going to Maine (other than, you know, HOME) was to sit with my Uncle and go through the family pictures. He’s pretty much the only person left who knows the details behind the photos, and it was becoming increasingly important to me to get that information DOWN. He’s seventy-two. [...]
My heart beats differently here.

You know what’s hard? Being REALLY FRIGGIN’ EXCITED about (big!) contacts I’m making and plans I’m forming for Beyond Megapixels, and having nowhere to squee about them.
