Corrections

When I started this blog, it was a bit of an experiment with voice. I thought I'd be a little less careful with my opinions than I'd been in the past, when I was being paid to represent an idea or institution. I thought I'd just say what I actually thought and discover (and learn from) when I was wrong.

So, here are a few cases where I was wrong.

First off, my snarky comment about people claiming that London's weather is mild. I wrote that "mild" was a strange description for a place where it rained nearly every day, regardless of the season. Well, I'm in NY and DC this week on business. Today as I walked to the metro and was surrounded by snow flakes in the air, I realized I hadn't seen these little white things in quite some time-- certainly not in London. Not to mention that the grass in London stays green throughout the seasons. So, "mild" may not be my description of choice for London weather, but it's not a crazy description as I originally wrote.

Second, my rather silly entry about taking pictures on the shortest day of the year, in December. I wrote that the darkness was depressing and taking photos helped to make it a little less depressing. The truth is, that was crap.

Short days suck, cameras or no. The exercise was an interesting one, but well, short days still suck.
