Rewind: August 20-24, 2012

As this post goes out, I'm not enjoying today. My family had gone off to camp and I'm stuck at work, slogging it out to meet a deadline.

It's not that I'm upset because I'm missing out on some camping. That's not it: I lost my interest in camping a few years ago and haven't seen it since. No, I'm upset because this is the second-last weekend for the summer holidays, before my kids return to school, and I'm not sharing it with them.

Sucks to be me.

But do you know what will make me happy? If you would take some time to sit back and read my blog posts of the past week. Maybe leave me a comment or two.

That'd be great. Thanks.

Here's what happened this week on The Brown Knowser:

• Beer O'Clock: The Accidental Photographer—I was going to be there anyway, so I was happy to help. As for the second accident, that wasn't so good.
• LinkedOut—stepping back from one of my first social networks. It's not you, it's me. I don't have time to give full attention to you, so I'm cutting you loose. Well, some of you, anyway.
• Wordless Wednesday: Candid—more photos from Craft Beer Week. The best shots are the ones they don't see coming.
• Gammon, Part 3—the continuing story of the making of Roland Axam and Songsaengnim. I'm planning to wrap this story up next week.
• Photo Friday: Adding Drama—I do it in my writing; why not in my photography?

Have a great weekend! And if you're going to be in Ottawa tomorrow, why not check out two events that I've organized: the Summer Photo Walk, where other area photogs and I will prowl the downtown core, and the Mill Street Tweetup, where said photogs and I will refresh ourselves after a good walk and will meet up with some other social-media types.

For information and to sign up (you must at least sign up for the tweetup, as there is limited seating), go to the following sites:

• Summer Photo Walk
• Mill Street Tweetup

I hope to see you there. If I can't be with my family, I'll be with you.
