Now that is my kind of photo assignment! But, I have to admit that I would have a hard time focusing on taking the photos as I would rather just learn some new yo-yo tricks :-)
Personally, I'm into bubbles and kites. I love science and education, but I prefer whimsy. ;-}
congrats, I saw the photo of "the shave" a few days ago when it was posted here, and I saw it in my Houston Chronicle recently as well! It's always nice to see people's work published, and I don't receive the Enterprise, so it was a nice surprise!
That's cool. :-)
Houston is our sister paper and really saved our butts during Hurricane Rita.
