Up and coming to the Kernel will be a blog that everyone can use. It will be for staffers, not just writers or photographers, and it will be updated several times a week with examples of good journalism, props and flops of the week, status on Kernel events (which will be happening much more often) and more.

The blog site is set up but needs tweaking. I hope this helps to build our writing community as much as our writing community has developed.

If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know: bradluttrell@gmail.com.

Calling

April 15, 2008

I read this on a design forum this afternoon, but the words of wisdom carry just as much strength when applied to photography.  Just replace the word design with photo(journalism).

Design is a calling – not a vocation.
If you cannot live it – see the world through it, then you should probably sell mutual funds.
Working hard is the only option – but then again, if it is truly your calling, it won’t seem like work – but rather something like fulfillment.
