Halfway across the globe today, reporters and photographers are being attacked, detained and/or arrested in Egypt. Meanwhile, I’m photographing first grade students receiving homemade knit hats from a local organization.

I’m just putting things in perspective; I’m absolutely not saying I should (or want to be) be flown out to Egypt, or anywhere else, right now. After all, someone’s gotta stay put and keep covering the home team.
