...embarked on the first of many biweekly white-knuckle rides, in which my alarmingly Zach Braff-esque professor managed to make his lectures sound like a single ninety-minute long Spanish word.Fast-forward a few months to Election Day, although it was already evening in the brightly lit classroom. The professor bustled in, characteristically tardy, and turned to me, the only American. He exchanged some thoughts about the election, saying that I must be excited, asking if I’d voted. His speedy mumbling had become much more intelligible to me at this point, but I was still sweating...
...Indeed, Blair's loyalty to Bush seems unshakable. Everyone has had a pal who is more trouble than he's worth; the kid who gets you into scrapes only to dematerialize just when the teacher catches you suspending a bucket of water over the classroom door; the roommate who loses keys, drinks the last of the milk and never washes the dishes.

"On the other hand, if you're a preschooler and your hands are in your mouth a lot, all bets...
...made possible by computers outweigh the infinite possibilities new technologies open up. His message is modern. After Photography, however, is not written in the accessible language of most new media - fast-paced, direct and easy to understand. Written in academic-sounding prose, it's best suited for the university classroom. Maybe this is no surprise - Ritchin is, after all, a professor. But for someone so enamored of the idea that amateurs can beam photographs and their accompanying stories out into the world without the impediment of gatekeepers, it's a little disappointing that Ritchin's tome is clearly aimed...
