However, I read an interesting article on CNN, http://www.cnn.com/2010/LIVING/07/20/i.write.like.authors.website/index.html?hpt=C2,  and decided to plug one of my news stories into “I Write Like”, here’s what I got…

One of the pics I took for a newsletter gallery I have put together at work. We have a variety of machinery from CNC machines, to lathes, to robotic welders, and they provide for some pretty interesting photographic opportunities. Shot with a Sony Cybershot DSC-W310.
