![me, a long time ago](../images/portrait_rockoff_dithered.png "Me, a long time ago. That's why it's black and white. No, for real tho, this was when I was a journalist, in Cambodia at the Khmer Rouge tribunal. Such a snapshot in time: This was when \\"newspaper video\\" was kinda new (ish), and before the rise of DLSR and micro four-thirds. It's a handheld Sony Z-1, but with a CAVision shoulder mount with a crazy pistol grip. Which I loved, until I covered a border skirmish and was talking to troops about it. Anyway, I extra love this photo because it was taken by the legendary Vietnam war photographer Al Rockoff. © him, circa 2008/2009")

This thing is a WIP, and I'm probably going to iterate in production live until I figure it out. Like maybe in a day this page will change when I remember how to float images with this combo of Pelican and Markdown.
