| definitely surprised and encouraged by the response the last post!
so although i have little to reflect on today i do have a photo to share...
this one is me sitting on some steps in the heart of københavn. sipping a soy chaiccino-classic with a shot of espresso.
i was hanging out with paul. one of our dear australian friends who has since returned home. we greatly miss him!
he loved grabbing my camera and taking shots. this one is quite good! if i do say so myself. at least the subject is pretty good...
i went through some shots from last year and found a couple ones worth editing and hopefully i can share some of the here in the next weeks.
just as we were going to bed i started talking into dawn's belly. and our little hope began to wiggle and jump at the sound of my voice. i almost cried!
hope=joy.

| so i am wondering how many people actually read these anymore... everyone is hooked on the fast and shallow updates of facebook. who can blame them.. it's easy. however, i wonder if this is not just a mirror of our contemporary society. fast and shallow. of course, i did cave in and join the fastest growing social networking site. and on the positive side, it has 'connected' me to many people that xanga, or aim, or any other communication tool created ever connected me to in my life time. but how is that connection? it feels more like a continually updated yearbook. we can add the pictures and give the subtext. we are in control. and it's centered around 'me'. and so the 'connection' we think we are getting really is a facade. in fact, it may lead to further disconnect a culture--or a generation that is in desperate need of a community to identify with. so i guess, what i'm trying to say is sorry. what can i do? even xanga became a place where i mostly posted my photos. but at least i was doing it for the pleasure of others. so, i hope to at least start posting shots again. and maybe, if i can slow down enough, add a few thoughts (or confessions). the real question is if there are any people around anymore?
