Yep. Once more I’m in the newspapers. Well, not me exactly. One of my pics. On the front page. And with a credit.
Hmm. Trying to sound blasé about it, but not really convincing myself.
Ok, maybe its not a well-known national. And maybe it doesn’t have a huge circulation. But it is a newspaper. And its distributed nationally. And my pic’s on the front page.
That’ll do for me. At least for starters.
Pity that when they posted me a copy they had to go and fold it right across the photo though. Ah well, can’t have everything I suppose.
Odd thing is, its not one of my more recent efforts, but one of those I’d taken a couple of years or so ago when I was first getting into the photography lark. From the Sack Parliament protest in London, 2006, as I recollect.
Oh, and I almost forgot… also had a coupla pics published in SchNEWS, the Brighton-based weekly newsletter for the activist community.
Congratulations, sir! A real coup de grace. Perhaps you could ask for another copy, but without the fold? It would be really nice to frame the front page and hang it up in your house.
About the only thing I have hanging in my house are cobwebs!
Then a framed copy of this front page will look even all the more smashing!
Congratulations!! I think that is awesome. You really should frame the front page.
D’you know, you’ve almost convinced me. Sure I’ve had pics published in the past… but this is the first time I’ve had one repro’d right across the full width of a front page.
Damn this ego, but I feel somewhat disproportionately gratified!
As you should! Now stop stalling and being difficult and get up to Jessops, buy a suitable frame, ask the paper to send you a non-folded version and put it up in a prominent location in your home.
Then take a picture of the framed newspaper and post it so we can all bask in the glow of your fame and good fortune.
Or else!
You really should frame it. I would!
And YES, I’m with forkboy, frame it, hang it, take a photo and share.
Yeah! Like she said that I said and stuff.
