I feel a void. 

I'm not sure what it is.

From my observations thus far, it is the absence of my friends. The people who truly know me of my past. I feel that whenever I may see them again, I will not be the same person. 

Most likely because that is true. 

But what is that to say of the new people that I meet here? And the new "friends" that I become 'acquainted' with?

Many of them are great people; great professionals that I admire and am honored to share life with.  But the face value that we all place on each other are the actions that we create and sustain during our shared time here in this vast place. We do not know truthfully know each others' past, nor of what truly makes each of us who we are today.

This leads to much judgement and skepticism.

What leads us to better things is open-mindedness and care. An emotional and genuine care for each other's well-being, for we are in a land, in which I feel, bound by the unknown.

Sweeps II


In a continuation of my "Sweeps" post the other day, here is another story I have recently been a part of.

This was shot while I was in Southeast Alaska a couple of weeks ago. The story is about Juneau residents turning to wood to heat their homes during a time of expensive traditional forms of heat. There are a couple of hitches with using wood, though...

Lori Tipton is the reporter.

This other story I was the editor for. Lori Tipton is the reporter and Zac Gooch is the photographer. This story is about Mat-Su Valley residents turning to coal as an alternate source of heat this winter.

This last story is a natpack I produced over the summer for one of our franchise pieces called "Day Trippin'". I stumbled across it the other day and thought it might be a good share. I titled it "A Recreational Asset".

"Gobblegate"??? Come ON...


Yes. The sarcasm in the title of this post speaks directly to my opinion about to be posted.

For those of you who do not know:





---

The controversy surrounding this video and the individuals involved is RIDICULOUS and BULL SHIT.

---

The better and more controversial topics of discussion I have been advised NOT to write about. 

I am muted.
