A brief look at my Hurricane Sandy coverage today. Been out in it most of the day, but due to a lack of power and internet connectivity, not to mention the ability to keep my Mac, mobiles and other devices thoroughly charged while tethered to a car charger, this is the only image I’m getting around to posting tonight while working by candlelight from here at home. Stay tuned… ~cg.
