Outside the Box

Once a month, on a Monday, our newspaper publishes a photo column called "Outside the Box" that is a space where photographers can publish an image that may otherwise go unpublished, so long as there is a reason or story behind the photo. Today I published my story. I have also been the photo editor since last Friday while Ryan (my boss and photo editor) is in..cough*...Hawaii. It's been hectic at times, but all in all it's been good being able to layout the front page and the local section. I need a lot of work on design, but hopefully I'll be able to get a little better while on the desk this week. Here is today's front page and underneath is a link to the article (similar to what I previously wrote concerning the house fire about a week ago.

Nice dude. I'm jealous of how much space your paper gives photos. Ours should give the readers magnifying glasses to accompany each issue... It's also pretty cool that you were able to share your thoughts and feelings about that situation with the community. It's a great way to foster some positive interaction.

Hey John - Both images, the one above and the fire image, were really nice. What a great opportunity to be able to explain the fire image and your side of it. Nice job!
