Day: October 6, 2011

To say that Donna has earned her stripes here at GMG would be an understatement.  She is our girl on the street.  Everyone on our team has different talents.

What I consider Donnas big time strength is her love of people and being involved hands on at local events.  This love often finds her smack dab in the middle of the action and more times than possibly anyone else this year she has brought us the photos live from breaking events.

I can’t stress how critical this is for us.  We pride ourselves on bringing you Gloucester events first and best.  We certainly have very talented photographers which serves big time importance to the blog as well but it’s nice to have both timeliness and quality!

If someone takes photographs at a sporting event and it takes them two weeks to edit them because they don’t want to release anything until they are 100% technically correct and edited we may as well forget about it as it’s old news.

Please welcome good egg Donna Ardizzoni, OUR GIRL ON THE STREET TO THE OFFICIAL GMG STAFF!

Donna just yesterday was authorized with posting privileges after sending in photos to me for a couple years!

I only had a few seconds to grab these quick shots of the first-quarter moon playing hide and seek behind  sunset tinted clouds.

Better keep moving – Thanksgiving’s right around the corner.

I own a Apple Ipod Touch. I’ve had it for over two years and I’m still amazed with it.  I’m still a PC person that won’t change. Steve Jobs did a great job turning around Apple and pushing the competition to a higher level. A lot of people including my Son James think he had too much control with the proprietary of apples Software and hardware. But as I told my son who is on his 2nd Ipod Touch, “You don’t have to buy it”. Hopefully the new guard will push the technology as he did. It will be interesting to see what he does in his next life! Namaste! Mr. Jobs.
