Zoriah Miller is one of the most well known and popular journalists of the 21st Century. He was born in 1976 and has been labeled exclusively as a war photographer. Miller began his career working for Humanitarian Aid and providing disaster management help to developing countries. After years of work he returned to his passion of photography and has chosen to only work on a freelance basis, despite having worked with World Picture News and a number of other prevalent agencies. The photos he has captured from places such as the Gaza Strip, Iraq, and Afghanistan have been published all over the world. It hasn’t all been a bed of roses for Miller though as there was quite a bit of backlash over photos he released of dead US Marines as the issue of Wartime Censorship rang out loudly.

And the wolf behowls the moon

As many of you know, wolves are animals dear to my heart.

The rush to hunt wolves: what is this about?

3,500 wolf tags sold in Idaho in three hours yesterday (that’s nearly 20 every second) after the Idaho Fish and Game Department began issuing permits. At $11.75 a pop, that tells volumes about what wolves are worth to the state. Are these people competing with Governor Butch Otter, who roughly two years ago, claimed he wanted to be the first in line to shoot a wolf? By next Tuesday, September 1st, when Idaho’s hunt starts, how many more thousands of tags will be issued to kill 220 wolves in the state-sponsored hunt? (The Nez Perce Tribe has an additional 35 permits-and maybe many more-in a separate tribe-sponsored hunt in Idaho).

Why? How sporting is it to kill a wolf, which looks a lot like a malamute? And why now, since the Northern Rockies population is still just rebounding, after being wiped out (for all intents and purposes) from the landscape until 1995? After spending millions of taxpayer dollars on one of the most successful endangered species recovery efforts in the country, why do we need to kill them now-before they are fully recovered? What’s the rush?

Snafoo Songs & Echoes

You may recall that I’ve been working with a bunch of talented writers/artists on our Cassidy collaboration project that has evolved into the Snafoo Collective over at www.thesnafoo.com

More content has been added, and more is to come.

Songwriter and composer DeLonde J. Bell has written the Snafoo Theme song, we’ve added  ‘s sketches:

We also unveil the protective garland designed and knitted by :

Sporting this garland, the Snafoo *may* decide to leave you alone.

Sometimes you can hear them…at night, when you’re all alone on the computer.

It’s almost like a hum, a whir, a delicate sound offset by something slightly awry. Those with a musician’s ear (and oddly often mathematicians, who are related creatures after all), can sometimes make out a melody.

TheSnafoo Theme song is their signature, an echo of their energy; and hidden inside the notes is their history, their passion, their pain, their plans.

Listen. What can you hear?
