In my latest experiment to serve you’ve better, I’ve started adding pictures that I’ve taken myself into the capping stream. Right now it’s just a handful of images that will show up randomly during the “Stills from the Library of Congress and other sources” hour nightly at 7 PM eastern. I’m hoping these will add some variety and excitement into the mix, rather than just a jarring shock of modernity and bad photography. I’ll freely admit that I’m not the world’s greatest photographer and I’m also avoiding anything staged or that has an explicit joke of its own. It’s your job to actually find the humor in these shots. Right now it’s still only 2% of one hour a day, so you’ll still need a little luck to see them.

If you’ve got some photos of your own you’d like to add, contact me. My general criteria are that they should be (1) photos you actually took, (2) not staged, (3) already cropped so the area of interest will be legibile at 200×200 resolution, (4) avoid too many recognizable faces at said resolution.
