Someone asked me today if the billboard with the Olympic Gold Medalists on the highway was mine. I was like, "What billboard?" It looks as if they combined a shot of Wariner with both of his medals with one of Williamson with the borrowed relay medal. I also found out that we will be re-shooting the studio stuff next week. I had given up hope.

This football billboard with my photos has been up for a few months now. the two boards are accross from one another on IH-35 at 4th & 5th in Waco.

As far as I know I took all of the photos on the two boards. I still need to track down the football player shot though.

Apparently I got the 'cover' photo for the Army & Air Force Exchange Service Newsletter for February 2005.

I got the cover photo of the American Basketball Quarterly - Women's Edition 3rd Quarter 2005.

I just delivered my first job for the Austin American-Statesman. Hopefully this will be the first of many.

Update: They printed something from my shoot. I am going to go grab a couple copies. I'll post a tearsheet after the three day embargo.

Update: I finally found a Statesman and they ran two photos in color on page A8 of the March 15, 2007 issue.

Update: The story is also online Austin360.com: Gotta get the gear to the gig

My photos from the Gault Archeological Site were published in the Austin American-Statesman on 02/17/2008.

I filed some 6x6 B&W film scans with my digitals in the hope that they would make the digital photos black & white and do an awesome layout. Oh well.

I shot a lot of jobs this weekend. I did swimming for the Austin American-Statesman on Thursday and Sunday:

Sadly the 1x1 inch sports call out box photo is my first front-page-above-the-fold-left photo in the Statesman. :)

Statesman.com 03/10 "Swimmers show lighter side"

I really enjoyed the challenge of shooting swimming. Now to build a water proof remote camera. :)

I also shot a speaker at a public affairs forum for the Statesman:

On Saturday I shot two games at a NCJAA Basketball tournament for the Midland Reporter-Telegram in Belton, Texas. The Reporter-Telegram website doesn't post photos with their stories.
