On Deck: Rocket Man

Here's some exciting news. Starting Monday, our Photo Synthesis host will be the multi-talented Steve Jurvetson. Steve will tell you that his main thing is rockets, but a bit of snooping about reveals that he's also a closet myrmecophile. But really. Who isn't?

I look forward to Steve's tenure - but I wanted to say how much I've enjoyed your photographs and commentary this past month. Viva la ants!

Amazing job this month and great kick-off to this new blog! I've really looked forward to new posts! Vive les mouches!

Thanks Alex. It's been fun, but now I have to explain to my wife where the new macro lens came from :-)
