Where would you live?

Today I got an ad in my inbox about a magazine called "The Progressive Farmer." Since Deb and I have talked at length about how happy we would be living on a farm, I jumped on the chance to check out their article on their picks for the Top 10 Places to Live. And the awesome part is that a county in VA made the list!

The article is a short read, but I really wanted to point out the link mid-article called "We Got Nailed By the Cops." It's a great read in comparison to a chilling conversation I had with friends last night about local crime!

The follow-up story by the photog/editor is priceless and hits upon a memory.

My absolutely least favorite part of being a journalist was approaching accident sites to take photos. As a rule, distant shots are OK but up-close--featuring deputies and whatnot--are better. And there's nothing worse than having someone who has just been in an accident, who is perhaps crying on the side of a road and feeling helpless, look at you with a face that isn't so much anger as "What are you doing? Why aren't you helping?"

I would make a terrible war photog. That's a place I'm not willing to take myself, mentally.

Ooh, really? You had to do that? I would absolutely feel the same way. "Oh, you are miserable! That will make a fantastic photograph!" ::snap::
