The View from Joburg. I've posted some of this year's southern Africa photos in my gallery at Lightstalkers. It's a temporary measure--eventually, I'll get them up here--but the slideshow is pretty nice. Check it out.

Updates. Lots of little pieces for SF mag--mostly reviews--that I'm finally getting around to posting: capsule reviews of the Arab Film Festival ("40 ways to visit the Middle East"); of the Center for Investigative Reporting's new documentary, Nuestra Familia, about the Latino prison gang ("Like father, like son"); on Pierluigi Serraino's new book on the Bay Area's modernist architectural legacy; on ReadyMade magazine's blog; and Cindy Sheehan's passionate but wildly uneven polemic, Dear President Bush. (caveat emptor: the last three are pdfs.)

Also, here's a travel piece on Mt. Shasta ("Downward Momentum") from a few issues back.

Someday, too, I'll get some of the new southern Africa photos up.
