Greetings, Instanation. Since I’m new to the Instapundit guest blogging crew, I thought I’d take a moment to introduce myself. (And plug some my work, of course!)

I’m a senior editor for Reason magazine, where I write a weekly crime column and a couple of investigative features per year, generally on criminal justice issues. I’m also a media fellow with the Cato Institute and I publish the weblog TheAgitator.com. If you read this site regularly you might recognize my name from the Cory Maye case, my reporting on SWAT teams and police militarization, or my investigations into Mississippi’s forensic system, particularly the controversial medical examiner Steven Hayne and his sidekick, fraudulent bite mark specialist Michael West.

Like our esteemed host, I also dabble in amateur photography. I’ll post a photo or so a day of some of my favorites over the years. I currently live with my pup Daisy in Alexandria, Virginia, though I’ll be moving to Nashville, Tennessee in a couple of weeks.

Welcome to my fellow guest bloggers. And a big thank you to Glenn for inviting me to help fill in for him this week.
