I was culling through the newspaper (the online version… sorry, that’s not helping my fellow journalists at all. But, how can I NOT use the online version when it’s sooooo easy to access.) the other day, and read one of the burgeoning stories on the North Korea situation I came across an interesting quote from a North Korean agency. As a PR professional, I have problem with this. First the quote:
"Now that the South Korean puppets were so ridiculous as to join in the said racket and dare declare a war against compatriots," North Korea is "compelled to take a decisive measure," the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea said in a statement carried by state media.”
Okay. How can an agency that contains the phrase “peaceful reunification” in its name voice such a belligerent view?! Perhaps this entity should re-visit the whole name thing and change it to something like, “Ripe Bastards with Nukes,” or “Ready, Fire, Aim!” I dunno. I think those two names describe this institutions function much better than its original name. I mean, when I go into a place named “Burger King,” I’m not expecting to see chicken strips on the menu…. Oops. Nevermind.
I’m still hitting the photography hobby pretty hard, and per my usual post, I have posted two of my favorites from the last outing. My friend and I went and shot a local mountain biking race on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail in Draper, Utah. It was a great experience. Although, it was our first such race and we shot all the amateur races… not realizing that the pro races were at the end. Oops (again). Oh well.
I hope everyone has a spectacular weekend, and we’ll catch you on the flipside. Below are two of my favorite photos from last week’s shoot:

New Experiences...
What's the world all about? Pushing it to the edge of the envelope and pulling it back in (a la the movie, Top Gun). It's gotta be about new experiences, getting out of your comfort zone and expanding. So, in the name of that... I went to Miller Motorsports Park last Friday and shot the American Le Mans Series out on the track for testing.
As adamant an anti-race guy I was, I gotta say... I was actually entertained by the cars. Now, don't get me wrong. I hate NASCAR, and I don't foresee a change in my feelings towards it. I mean at no point in my life do I think I would fit in with someone like this! But, the ALMS was cool because they actually raced cars you see on the streets.
Plus, I am really trying to take my photography to the next level and shooting racing is a good way to test your skills. My next ambition is to shoot downhill mountain bike racing next week!
Anyhoo, as I have in the last couple posts, I'll leave you with my two favorite pics that I took on my last adventure:
