Hello, Welcome to my weekly column on the Web.

I plan to use this space to espouse some insight on a topic of interest to the community, whether it's something being talked about in the news or an idea that's uniquely my own. (And I've been known to have quite a few unique ideas.)

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Kenneth Wajda. Perhaps you've seen me soaking up the daily news while sitting over a scone and coffee at the 16th Street Cafe. (If you see me, stop and say, "Hi.")

I am a former photojournalist from New Jersey, having worked for the Trenton Times Newspaper for 13 years. I am also a magazine writer and photographer--when I lived on the east coast, I was a frequent contributor to New Jersey Outdoors Magazine.

Before moving to Colorado earlier this year, I wrote a book called the Travel Photo Workshop and started a company with the same name to teach travelers and photographers of all levels how to capture beautiful travel memories. So far, I've been offering the live course in Manitou Springs and Pueblo, at their art centers, and have been making my living selling the Travel Photo Workshop on CD-ROM at art shows and outdoor markets across Colorado.

It was featured in the Daily Record this past summer and has been getting lots of good reviews. This week, I'm taking the Travel Photo Workshop to bookstores from Montrose to Denver. I guess you could say I'm on my first book tour.

I'm also a filmmaker and screenwriter. In fact, I have two scripts in Hollywood now, making the rounds. One of them, titled I'M A BEREAVER, is getting a lot of attention. I'm just waiting for that call.

My goal is to be able to afford to make my living writing exclusively, primarily for Hollywood. Movies are in my blood. In fact, check out the link below and you'll find my weekly Movie Review.

I hope you'll come back weekly and check out what I'm ranting about. I've included links to the left to pages that are useful to Cañon City residents, including a Bulletin Board.

If you enjoy this page, please email it to your friends. Thanks. I hope to see you here next week.
