I am making the newspapers. OK, the newspaper! I was not feeling well this morning so I was laying on the couch. I had taken some pictures for the Marines a couple of weeks ago at the Littleton ceremony. I have a running agreement with the Marines that I will do pictures for them and when they put them in the paper, they use my name. So they sent the pictures to the Polk County Pulse and used my name of course. So this morning as I was just laying on the couch, the phone rang. I didn't know the number, so I let the answering machine get it. On the phone was LeeAnn Dilbeck who is the editor of the Polk County Pulse. She said that she had a picture that the marines had submitted to them. She wanted to hire me to take pictures for the Pulse. WHAT? I thought that I was going to fall over. She wants to contract me to take pictures for her!
She tells me to set my price and call her back. So I did and we set up the time and I told her that she could rely on me for this Saturday. I have always wanted to work for a newspaper taking pictures. My idea was taking pictures for a magazine when I was younger, and this is the next best thing. I know that this probably won't take me to far in Mena, but at least people will get to see my pictures and see the passion that I have for them!!!!
Awesome!
