Layne Wyse recently posted a link about a book by photographer Alex MacLean titled Over: The American Landscape at a Tipping Point. It’s filled with aerial shots showing human patterns of development and their impact on the environment. I didn’t realized there was a fair amount of waterfront property near Phoenix Arizona before seeing this book. You should definitely check out his pictures, either on NPR or by visiting Alex’s website and clicking the “New Book: Over” link. You can also buy the book (and see even more photos) on Amazon.

As you may recall, the Philippi Service Adventure group had the chance to take in Barack Obama’s Inauguration back in January. I posted photos on Facebook & Flickr a while back, but never linked to them from here. So, in case you haven’t seen them yet, you should definitely take a look. The captions of my Facebook Album tell the story of our day in D.C. while my Flickr Set contains a couple more random shots.

I’ve definitely been keeping busy at Haiku too. I won’t say too much here, but I’ve been collaborating with a company named Noteflight to make Haiku a great place for teachers & students to share music. If you need a few examples of how sweet Noteflight is, check out these two scores. Take care!
