The pretty clear picture that emerges is that Atlanta and environs are seeing pretty solid job growth, but other areas &#8212; most notably Savannah, Augusta, and Dalton &#8212; are seeing continued year-over-year job losses. <\/p>\n<p>I also am <a href=\"http:\/\/www.billdawers.com\/2012\/06\/17\/im-looking-for-savannah-area-advertisers\/\" target=\"_blank\">still looking for advertisers<\/a> for those 125&#215;125 squares at the top of the right sidebar. Click here for more information.<\/p>\n<p>I have been experimenting for a while with various ways of presenting some of my ongoing photography. As regular readers might know, I have a cheap DSLR body with a very good lens that I&#8217;ve been taking along with me &#8212; especially for some of the great bands coming through town.

Sometime later today, I&#8217;ll be posting some pics of last night&#8217;s gig by American Aquarium at The Jinx.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I have <a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/dawers\/\" target=\"_blank\">a couple of boards<\/a> up on Pinterest, but I also decided that I will be posting some photos, many with links to the appropriate post on this blog, on a new tumblr page. It has taken me longer than I would have thought to get the knack for how the kids interact on tumblr. Still, I like the various template options and I just personally like the effect of being able to see pictures from so many events and places in one glance.
