ch ch ch ch changes

Over the next two weeks I will be making changes to our blog, both visual and textual. Since we first posted about six months ago our ideas about what sort of forum this should be have constantly evolved, and we are ready for another phase. (Don't worry--my insightful commentary and Ben's pretty photographs aren't going anywhere.) The first thing on the chopping block was our former banner. It optimistically listed the best of our passions in life: faith.photography.sustainability.design.cultures.life. Each of those elements play a part in our direction, conversation and thought life, but it seemed a touch pretentious considering what it might actually have read is: "what book comes after romans again.the new york times won't return ben's phone calls.i can't remember to recycle our plastic bottles.good design is an excuse for me to buy things i do not need.we ate at mcdonald's in rome.we are 23-years-old and what do we know." So now we are back to the basics, the three "R's" of education, just trying to read, write, and figure out what is next. Hopefully whatever changes we implement will more honestly, but still optimistically, reflect our trajectory and what holds our thoughts during these rainy Faroese days. -a
