1st Lt. Ashley Henderson Huff (deceased) in Iraq, circa 2006.

My best wishes and thoughts this Memorial Day to the families of those who gave their last in service.

Update: I don't want to be flip, but I think that picture is just one of the greatest of all time. The "Is this girl serious?" looks on those Iraqis faces say it all. Yes. She was serious.

My hat is off to my younger self for holding on to this poster.

If you google "AJ Green is a work of art" you find the shirt I want 30 of.

Gameday newspapering: Dangerous

Woody Marshall, the photo chief here at The Macon Telegraph, has a big scar on his face today. Turns out a colision involving Ramarcus Brown and possibly a Georgia Southern player broke one of The Telegraph's long lenses in half at the end of a long incomplete pass Saturday. Woody was trying to take a picture of Uga VII at the time.






Woody: "You're not supposed to be able to see that part."


Woody said the prevailing opinion nearby was that he was dead after the collision. He also said Ramarcus seemed very concerned when he came back to check on him after the play. Except for the cut and knot on his upper cheek, he was.

As for the lens; whammies come to us all on Gameday.













Central Michigan, I fear, will fare much worse.

It's like every day there's something new

140 photos from the 4th of July around the world. That includes the opening of a new American embassy in Berlin, at its pre-World War II address.

Bozo the Clown has died.

National Geographic's week in photos:




Finally, I have a friend named Brett Unzicker. He and his brothers grew up in the D.C. area.

And he's got these jackass friends who've managed to get The Washington Post to file daily updates about their shenanigans at a golf tournament: Stacy responded by ripping off his shirt and flexing.

Go read Danny's blog

There's not a ton of downtime in my work day, but when there is I like to check up on Danny Gilleland, the senior photographer here at The Telegraph. By the way, The Telegraph has an impressive photo staff, particularly for a paper of its size.

Danny puts up some of his favorite photos, and along the way gives advice to aspiring photographers.

This is my favorite string of pictures from Danny's blog.
