I am looking for work opportunities in Beijing,
starting sometime in the fall.
Ideally, I would want to work for a New York-based travel magazine.
If you know any editors or photo editors at travel magazines or
people in the documentary film world interested in Beijing,
please pass along my info.
Plan is to focus on art work, but traveling around sounds fun.
It is certainly the best way to learn.
Taking the Temperature/Back in the Dirty South
Don't know how hot Beijing will be post Olympics and what will happen in Tibet and Taiwan between now and then. Its just a very interesting and semi-volatile time. With the economy in the US such that it is and presidential elections, there is no telling what will happen at home either. I have seen so many homes on the market or foreclosed by the bank. The stock market is suffering. We are fighting moral and hopeless battles on fronts I'm not sure we can "win." How have we come to this? Why is Bush sending out incentive checks to people who need longer term solutions not a token that deepens our debt and doesn't offer any real solutions to the problems that got us here in the first place. I'm surrounded by Republicans. I am desperate for a liberal leaning leader who can really tackle our economic crisis and regain our good name in the world. But one who can deal with and acknowledge that they will not see the results of much of their hard work until past their season in office. If they are ok with that and can still forge ahead through the murky waters, then I can stand behind them. Any Democrat will do. The Republican candidate, will take us further down the path that had lead us here.
Please...do your part and vote. And encourage all your friends and family to vote. We can't take for granted that by law, we can elect our leaders, even if history has shown that it is not always by popular vote.
