  • @fmicklow So have you converted on your donut preferences? #
  • You know, if this teaching thing doesn't work out I could totally do entry-level tech support. #
  • Really @CNN? This was the best photo you could find? http://t.co/eXtvUi2 #onemorereasontohatestockphotography #
  • This gave even me a headache … http://t.co/oS7CNe4 #
  • Well, that didn't take long … first assignment, first squirrel picture. There's a twist: this one is, uh, post-mortem. #
  • And now we have the first pigeon on a step of the semester. Record for that, I believe. If I kept them … Okay for practice, never publish. #
  • Whoa … first semester student, first assignment … sweet light, worked a subject, tried lots of angles, great tech. #thisiswhyiteach #
  • Also, that student? Shot almost three times as many frames as next most. Quantity doesn't equal quality, but practice certainly helps. #
  • Second class' critiques starting … and I have someone up on a chair shooting. I haven't even mentioned stepladders yet in class. #ugavj #
  • Woowho! The new @slaidc double CD showed up today. And it comes with its own coasters! Which I'll probably never use, but they're still cool #
  • It's time to shoot some football! #ugavj is out for the first-ever #gradysports workshop. http://t.co/5756z87 #
  • #gradysports writers prep. http://t.co/dPRada5 #
  • Waiting for the start. #gradysports #ugavj http://t.co/8FC9lwL #

  • Slackers – we're starting week three. RT: @jonvibe: Hello, new school year! Only 90 minutes until the kick off … @NewhouseSU. #
  • @jonvibe Summer lasts until Oct. down here, so we really can't wait…I miss turning leaves. We're off to a roaring start, lots of learning. #
  • @Caitbo Sounds like an excellent start, keep shooting. Nice light out right now. #
  • The more things change RT @fmicklow: My watch just went off. It's 2 on a Tues, time for a food reference #JOUR5370 #docdonuts hello from NJ #
  • The kids are getting smart out there. RT @fmicklow: Sometimes a journalist needs to listen. Not for the story, but for the subject. #njirene #

  • @dsilverman Can you send us a link to that story? Maybe it will help us … B-) #
  • Excellent news. RT: @fmicklow: Lease signed. Job acquired. So I guess I can call new jersey home for a while. #reallife #
  • Watching @jonathabrooke videos on YouTube. I sold her a guitar cable at a Radio Shack in 1992. Sorta wonder if she still has it…unlikely. #
  • I used to like your Twitter feed. Eek. RT: @rdfrench: Painful. It is the "Rebecca Black Friday" of Sorority Rush Vidoes http://t.co/nRkw9WE #
  • Ha! RT:@georgiawebgurl: need to add text filler for a website prototype? Loren Ipsum is so outdated. Try Hipster Ipsum http://t.co/xGHmNsP #
  • Based on recent chats and emails from CPS, I'm starting to think they don't really like photographers. Which, you know, is kind of weird #
  • CPS just sent me a customer satisfaction survey and wants to know if they can use my responses in marketing material. YES, but you won't. #
  • I missed a memo somewhere … when, exactly, did customer service become optional? (No, I don't think I'm done ranting yet. Deal with it.) #
  • My optician just told me to keep my sunglasses away from warm places. Was tempted to point out it is kind of warm in Georgia on sunny days. #
  • @cody_schmelter Go for the 50, will be loose but it will work. #
  • I keep thinking this state vendor has run out of ways to screw us over. But I'll give them credit – they're still trying. And succeeding. #
  • After 20 years of covering high school football it turns out I really don't like watching it. Who knew? #bandparentnow #

  • Sigh … @VizJournalism: Now online: The Apocalypse is Nigh http://t.co/8dky6hR #
  • @fmicklow Um, I believe we scored all those super teles when you were here, kid. Stop complaining. #
  • @joshdweiss We're rebuilding parts of the kits, not everything this year as I'd hoped. #
