The AmericanWebLog Guy
At present more of an outline from which to work, this section of the site will hold information about the man behind AmericanWeblog, Jip Pruden. His past, his skills, his reasons for going on the road, and his faith in the future.
It is interesting to watch the process as I sort out the past in thinking about what I would like to present in this section. It seems to be evolving slowly towards an ongoing autobiography.
"It's alive, I tell you, it is alive!"
This part of the site will also hold clickable pics leading to a gallery. Vain? Maybe. I'm going to try it for awhile. It is revealing, to me, to see my evolution through images. I've so often been the guy taking photographs, not the one in them. It also seems helpful for others--who may be considering hiring me or asking me to visit--to see the eyes and face of the man who may walk through their door.
