The Daily Ink is the voice of Utata. Yes, your voice, our voices ... all the voices. We'd be tickled pink if our members helped us define that voice. And this, Utatans, would be your chance to do that.

For more information on Fair UseThe Travel Channel's website now offers Photo Journeys, a section that combines the work of professional travel photographers with blogs by the photographers themselves. The photos are presented in a decent size, and the quality of the blogging matches that of the art:
Brazil is free and easy and dark and decadent and wide open for anything. São Paolo is the business heart and Rio is the playground of Brazil. Getting off the plane in Rio is like stepping into a humid sense of possibility. It's best to surrender to it, to fall into it just like you fall into the perfect waters of the Atlantic on a hot day on Ipanema Beach, surrounded by unabashed Brazilian humanity wearing very little clothing and even less inhibition.
Currently, the site features photographers Brent Stirton (author of the above quote), Jeff Foott and Alison Wright, and covers loccations from India to Idaho. There are also virtual jigsaw puzzles made from featured photos, and hints that in the future visitors to the site will be able to sumbit their own works.
Start with: Jeff Foott's slideshow of spetacular ice climbs in Colorado.
