Hello all!
First off, as some of you may have seen, I will be doing some part-time work with WMF on strategy coordination. We're all active on the projects here and probably have some ideas that may bear bringing up. If you have any, I'd very much appreciate hearing them.
Unrelated, but also relevant to WMCO, we live in a pretty massive state. :) Given that, I've discussed the possibility of getting small grants for expenses like mileage and meals on the road to photograph things like smaller towns, abandoned mines, ghost towns, etc., for articles on Colorado towns and landmarks where free photos currently aren't available yet. It seems that's an idea they're interested in moving forward with. If anyone would have interest in that, let me know as well.

Oooh, that sounds like a great idea! All the best, and let me know if I can help remotely!
cheers, Gaurav

If I had a car, I'd be all for this. I mean, I am all for this, there just isn't much I can do about it, but it sounds awesome, and we could probably make some pretty fun events out of it. Mini photography road trips!
