• Robin Williams – The Face of Inner Pain

    It seems nearly impossible to fathom that someone as brilliant and funny as Robin Williams could be so tortured emotionally that he takes himself out of the human race. Yet, last week, one by one, each of us across the whole globe, fixed our attention on the sad news of this beloved actor’s suicide. Sometimes, a blip of news in the vast sea of information we are bombarded with daily, seems to slap us so hard in the face that we can almost hear the collective groan rippling through space and time.

  • SEMO.net Is Building a Team of Photographers

    Are you an amateur photographer? SEMO.net is building a team of photographers for a project we are working on. We are not looking for professional photographers with side businesses, we are talking about amateurs who love photography and enjoy trying to catch that perfect shot and would love to have their work appear online for the area to see. If you are interested then please contact me at brian@semo.net and send me links to some of your favorite shots. Don't overwhelm me with 50, narrow it down to less than 10 photos. It's okay if you just send me one or two. Just so it allows me to see how good you are with a camera.
