As many of us (academics) set off for various travels, a glance at David Byrne’s Journal can remind us of the value of the well-made observation. Byrne (yes, the Talking Head) has been posting his travel journals (to be published in the fall as Bicycle Diaries) alongside photographs, videos, and other observations on his blog for a few years now.
Thanks to Reese for reminding me of Byrne’s writing. I’ll be heading off to Vancouver Island for the ASLE conference next week, then to Amsterdam for the ISSRNC in July, and to Santa Fe in August for a seminar at the School for Advanced Research on the Human Experience, with a few other stops along the way, and time spent in Vermont in between. So my blog contributions may be spotty at times through the summer. But if I motivate myself, I may share some photos and observations from my travels. I will be posting other people’s stuff to the Shadow Blog regularly.
