wordpress ho!

So I've decided to move myself over to a spanky new wordpress blog! Wordpress it seems has a little more room for images, and it's just a little swankier in general (no disrespect to the lovely people at blogger who have hosted me til now...). So please come visit me at my new space, kcreedon.wordpress.com. And for those of you who have been noticing I've been falling off of the horse a bit recently, I promise to be a bit more faithful in getting up images of what I'm working on. Looking forward to seeing you over at wordpress, and, as always, thanks for looking...

salvadoran elections slideshow

So I put together a little slideshow about March 15, presidential election day in El Salvador. It's in Spanish, but if you don't understand Spanish, you can just look at the pictures and listen. Hope you like it -- click here to see.

Also, if you're interested in seeing my piece in the Christian Science Monitor about the elections, you can check it out here.
