Get what you pay for...
Oh I know we here on Interweb don't put in any hours or sacrifice our time for what we publish, in fact the photos you see below were actually photoshopped, I didn't go for a ride to fill my tank with gas in preparation for nightshift this weekend when I won't feel like stopping...and no that isn't snow you see, or was it raining...and we here on Al Gore's creation are not worried about making a profit or the quality of our writing....because all of us here...posting into outerspace also have avenues of good old bricks and mortor paper journalism to express our views, likes and dislikes...AND we are wasting our time expressing ourselves, our likes and dislikes because the paper journalistic world is giving us quality, intelligent writings and bike features that satisfy our needs and wants, so yes we are wasting your time. (no you can't have your thirty seconds back that you just spent putting your tounge in your cheek.)

I love Genghis' photography...
I wish I had the nerve to take such great candid shots! He captures life in NYC perfectly!
Here is a link to my latest editorial at the Seedy!
http://disc.yourwebapps.com/Indices/74976.html#16634
This was an editorial I wrote for a magazine that I was asked to write for. No word limitations were placed on the editorial and when I turned it in, the new editor of the ill-fated job loved it...LOVED it...left me a great voice mail telling me so..then a few days later he asked me to cut it in half...I cut it down to two words. "I quit." Obviously the management (who would never ask an advertiser to not express themselves in so many words,) had gotten to the editor. Fine, I can understand that had I been told in the first place that editorials were to be brief descriptions and quirky antidotes. But the worst was the editor did not go to bat for his writers. If the very first time I a turn something in, that I cannot trust my editor to defend me, then I am not spending my days standing on my virtual coffee table giving them the best I have to offer. This is why the Internet will kill the magazine industry. People want content, not just well placed adds.
