Blogging Elsewhere
Posted On 04/06/2009 13:13:17 by Bug_Eric

I apologize for being out of the loop here for the last few months.  Much in my life has changed, and I haven't been able to devote as much attention as I would like to InsectGeeks.

Last Wednesday I became unemployed.  How appropriate is that (April Fool's Day!)?  I had known this was coming for several months, so I was able to "prepare" to at least some degree.  Still, suddenly not having a daily routine really throws a wrench into one's life.

I would very much like to get into a career in the media, where I can provide content about nature in general for radio, television, and online outlets.  I'd very much appreciate hearing from anyone with "connections" in that context so I can begin networking.  My current network is composed almost entirely of other entomologists!

Also, I have begun my own blogs.  Please consider visiting me at:  Bug Eric Blog and Sense of Misplaced, a commentary on nature and natural history in general.

Lastly, I have endeavored to take up digital photography, which I know absolutely nothing about.  I need to illustrate the blogs, though, and to that end have purchased a camera that will allow me to learn gradually.  Most of my good to excellent images are going up on BugGuide and BirdSite, and also my blogs, of course.

You all are still welcome to "bug me" if there is anything I can help you with.  Thank you.

Thank you for the comment.  I just accepted a temporary entomology position in Massachusetts, so will be busy out there for 28 weeks starting in late May or early June.

My best friend who worked on films in LA says that u should begin by contacting film commissions, universities, museums, and other science organizations in ur state. u should start by finding others to work with u on the project. u should have an idea for subject material and then pitch the idea to film departments or entomology departments, etc. There is grant money available to produce insect films, which u can find through some research.
