It's generally thought that the majority of people outside the United States would prefer that John Kerry win tomorrow's presidential election. Now Globalvote, a non-partisan, London-based website not sponsored or connected to any political party, has released the outcome of its worldwide virtual voting. Kerry beats George W. Bush with a whopping 77 percent.

I am not sure how “scientific” all of this is, but it isn't rocket science to know that Mr. Bush isn't popular at home, nor is he liked beyond our borders.

If you can legally vote tomorrow, please get out of your house, find your polling precinct and do the right thing.

Photo District News reports that Brian Storm, a proponent of photojournalism has been forced out of his position at Corbis. Wishing him the best in his next endeavor.

A group exhibition of 160 works of art by 112 artists from across India in support of the community eye care work at Sankara Nethralaya runs October 15 – 30, 2004 at the Lalit Kala Akademi, Rabindra Bhavan, New Delhi. Curated by Sushma Bahl, the exhibit is presented by Sankara Nethralaya, Chennai.

I submitted two black & white images from my early days in photography.

Please support this wonderful cause.

What sells. So sad!

The Mountain Workshop has launched it's most recent website. Each year, the workshop “travels” to a new town in Kentucky and documents life there in about a week. It's very challenging, but also gratifying. When I participated, I was lucky to have some amazing photo editors there.

One of the partcipants this year was Dipti Vaidya, an online producer at Knoxville News Sentinel. I remember her from Indiana University, where we were both students, though pursuing different journalism degrees. I look forward to catching up with her.
