New Jersey Monthly Photographer Marc Steiner Shoots Lesley Risinger Outside Camden County Courthouse for my New Jersey Monthly Profile of Her

I first interviewed Lesley Risinger in her small, windowless office in Seton Hall School of Law. Around her were papers and folders and shoeboxes of papers sent to her by New Jersey prisoners over the last couple of years. She’s made it her mission to help to free New Jersey’s wrongfully-convicted. Her work and her fascinating personal story were the subject of my piece for New Jersey Monthly Magazine.

2008 Weblog Awards

I just came across the 2008 Weblog Awards. It’s worth investigating. There are awards in 48 categories, including Best Comic Strip, Best Humor Blog, Best Technology Blog and Best Blog, which Andrew Sullivan won with Daily Dish. I really liked the The Daily Dose of Imagery blog which didn’t win but was a contender in the Best Photography Blog category. He posts one image a day. It’s a nice manageable premise. And some of the images are gorgeous.
