Last month, I won the NPPA clip contest with a great picture of a highway patrolman comforting a baby whose mother and father had just died in a car crash. I got lots of nice letters on that one. My wife, Brandy, is a photojournalist for WKPG here in Fort Worth. She's been working at the station for five years, and just graduated from the NPPA TV News Workshop. We recently bought a new house near Amon Carter, with a beautiful pool in the backyard.
Life is good.
But, I keep reading all this stuff on the NPPA list about photographers belly-aching about photographers' rights. Life magazine just used my picture of the car crash as a double-truck. He said, with the new infusion of capital we're going to get the best of the new technologies, and make our paper No.1 in the country. The TV station was also purchased, and both Brandy and I are really excited about the future. I got called in by the director of photography today.
