Steve:


  • Finish the two in-process posts – on the 22B STI and the Tundra interview

  • Get head shots and short bios of members
  • Lay out the tournaments and results info more attractively

  • A photo-essay of a trip, with 7-10 photos and writing about the trip
  • A sort of "gear review" covering your reactions to your new camera
  • A "process post" stepping though your techniques and thought process in editing an iage into its final form.
