Photography Book Launch
Mindy1114: That is a strange thing for photographers to say and I am wondering what their motivation would be in saying it. Although I learned on film, which gave me an appreciation for the origin of the terms used and feeling for the rich history of photography, you can definitely learn to be an excellent photographer using purely digital. I do recommend that if you are enthusiastic about photography, you should invest in a DSLR or maybe a micro 4:3 camera. These allow you full control over the settings that make your photography creative. However, photography is fun at every level and I recommend you just take photos with whatever camera you have available to you!— January 29, 2012 7:42 a.m.
Sorry, Citizen Journalist
In their position I wouldn't talk to the reader either. An untrained, unpaid, journalist, without press credentials, no editor, and no fact checking, wants to write a badly structured and researched article about me? Don't kid yourself. The reader has foregone having the right to be treated as a serious organ of the press by replacing journalism with free content merely to increase their page count and Google placings for their ad business.— January 17, 2010 8:57 a.m.
A Horse is a Horse, of course, of course
Five cars to deal with one man and a horse!! I wonder how much your frivolous call to the police cost us San Diego tax payers. The poor guy had probably just stopped temporarily to calm the horse that was nervous in the trailer. He was doing no harm and would have gone on his way sooner if you could have shown a little Christmas spirit and left him alone to deal with his problem. You are absolutely correct in that it was the silliest call of the day!— December 28, 2009 3:42 p.m.
Quiet Trains
My wife and I recently spent a week in Seattle at the Edgewater Hotel. Freight trains passed right outside the hotel day and night, but not one sounded their horn. The crossing was no different from the ones we have in San Diego, it was possible to walk across the track anywhere. The only difference was a sign saying No Horn. I think we are being sold a crock here in San Diego!— December 12, 2009 1:02 p.m.
Pedaling Blues
What proof is there that wearing a seat belt makes pedicabs safer for the passenger? I wouldn't want to be strapped in if one began to tip over! It's a stupid idea and a complete over-reaction due to the behavior of one bad pedicab driver. Issuing a limited number of permits is a good idea. By all means keep them off fast roads. But don't make laws about safety equipment unless you can show the outcome is positive. Seat belts may actually make pedicabs more dangerous due to a) causing pedicabs to wait in traffic while passengers buckle up. b) not allowing for fast evacuation of the pedicab if it gets out of control or a collision is imminent. Most pedicabs travel at a speed hardly faster than a walk. Strapping yourself in to one may well heighten your vulnerability to an accident. Marti Emerald is making laws without any knowledge of whether they are effective. Just one more stupid rule to inconvenience us with little proven benefit.— September 6, 2009 9:41 a.m.
Union-Tribune Axe Falls Again. Kittle Reportedly Out
Response to post #10. Old people die. Newspapers will therefore die, it is just taking a long time. I don't believe there is a another generation of people who want to read the news on paper, at least not enough to sustain an industry. Besides, why not just format online news in a way that can be printed at home if you want it? What I can't stand about newspapers is the waste of paper made up by the high proportion of advertising over content needed to support the hard copy business model. In response to others, news reporting has never been unbiased, but at least it has been informed. Fact checking seems to be a thing of the past.— August 13, 2009 6:32 p.m.
Half a Glass
Don't know how everyone managed to escape by 7:01. This place has the slowest elevator in town apart from the one in Horton Plaza.— August 10, 2009 8:15 a.m.

Doggy budget
Seems to me that a lot of dog owners treat nearly every park downtown as leash free. I see people every day in Little Italy and Marina District letting their dogs run free. I think we ought to tax city dog owners to pay for the damage and cleanup.— June 20, 2009 6:02 p.m.
La Policia Scare the Pants Off Prostitutes
This is not anywhere near a piece of valid journalism. Opinion and hyperbole is not a substitute for attributable facts. There could have been a news story here if you hadn't been so lazy and written it all from your head. Are we to infer that you were one of the "patrons" shaken down by the police? I can't think of any other reason why you'd write trash like this.— June 19, 2009 2:26 p.m.
