I walked up to find it laying like this. It looks either really tired or lonely. I'm not sure which it is. I thought that it was a really good photo. I took 468 that day, all in 16:9 format like this picture using my 70-300mm lens.

Tell Your Representatives to Stop Big Media

Dear Friend,

I just wrote my representatives in Congress, asking them to stand up for better media in America. There is a bill in the House right now that would protect journalism, diversity, and competition. The Senate just approved a companion bill with near-unanimous support -- a truly bipartisan effort.

On Dec. 18, 2007, the Federal Communications Commission voted on sweeping changes to media ownership rules. This is just the most recent in a long series of outrageous moves the FCC has made to avoid public scrutiny.

Congress has the power to throw out these rules -- and if hundreds of thousands of people demand it, they'll have to listen. Will you join me in this effort to stop further media consolidation?
