Way to be, Brett!

I also heard about this on the radio, had my camera, and thought about heading that way, but I was on 360 at the time and I wouldn't have made it.

Congrats on the startlegram!

Wow....talk about the right place at the right time. Great shots.

Brett,

Nice job on the photos.

Thanks Tom and every one who suggested he send them to the Star-Telegram.

And thanks, Brett for keeping the camera with you, and then for using it so well, and then calling the paper.

Like Tom said not every day or every where do we have a staff photographer, and we really appreciate looking at photos.

I never would have thought that it would make the cover.

Thanks everyone for suggesting I send it in. And I thank the Star-Telegram for printing it.

Way to go Brett! Congrats on getting published in the Star-Telegram.

[Graydon]

Just goes to show how important it is to keep a camera with you.

I was a block away from the office building fire in Houston on 610 east last week...

The lack of images posted indicates that I didn't have the camera... oh well.

Great shots! I saw that on the news as it was happening and wondered if any of the forum got any snaps.

Right place. Right time. And Prepared (had your camera w/you)

Cool shot..

[Killeenguy]

congrats...it's great to see a fellow photographer get recognition.

Congratulations Brett

It certainly is a dramatic shot, and one that deserved the front page.

It's great that Milton is a forum member. He gives us insight quite often into why and how photos get selected.

With todays technology it doesn't hurt to submit a shot to the newpaper.
It may be just what they are looking for, or it might spur an article that would use your shot.

Brett make sure you send them an invoice. I doubt they will send you a check spontaneously, and if I'm wrong I'm sure someone will corect me.

[madams]

Brett,

Yes we need to be sent an invoice, thats the way the corporate folks keep account of what we spend and where. It also needs to have your social security number on it.
While you are at it, I would call Paul in the morning and see if you might add a little to cover the running of the second picture on the metro cover on Wednesday morning. Not that he will but you never know.
And thanks again for calling the paper.

[BooBoo]
