Flabbergasting news: I just heard late last week that my research proposal to the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) was successful. The proposal was to continue my work on photography online, and specifically on photoblogs. Was and now IS to continue that work. I'll post a small abstract from the proposal subsequently, so we all know what I'm talking about.

My thanks to the ESRC and to all the people who helped me write the proposal, including Nina Wakeford, Nigel Fielding, Vicki Alexander, Christine Hine, and Geoff Cooper.

The work is to start on October 1, 2004 and run for a year.
