I need a pro PJ to HELP!

[<Akula>]

Ok, so - in my home forums (POTN) there don't seem to be that many photojournalists, or at least any that want to help me! Heres my plee:

I'm doing a short profile on a person of my choice for a journalism class. I was wondering if there is a pro photojournalist that wouldn't mind taking some time to talk to me over the phone for a bit or over email if you'd preffer. I'd really like to talk to somebody in this field because it will eventually be my profession as well!

I hope somebody can spare me a little time. This will not be published in ANYTHING, not even our school paper, so you are safe! You can also PM or email me any questions you have. Thanks!

Sure, no problem. Not sure I'm a pro, but I freelance for the Ft. Worth Star Telegram and also freelance for World Picture News in New York. I've been out in the field working quite a bit. View my profile for my info. to see if I qualify.

[HeatherLou]

[HeatherLou]

Well, your job is harder.......I just have to open the back door LOL!

Brandon, Leslie is a very humble person and a great PJ. You would be very wise to talk to her and she is always willing to help others.

I'm surprised you could find one of the PJ at the Bellingham Herald to talk to.

I second the nomination. Leslie is a "rising star" among the PJ ranks.

Arrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhhhh......
That gave me a good chuckle.

I'll leave that up to you Leslie. I'll settle for animals - my preference ...
Sports - if I must...
PJ - I'll just send the photo op leads to you. As I said before, you make the mundane photos look extrordinary. You have the heart, the talent and the drive for it.

We can both hold cameras and click. But, the photos show where the heart is. Yours comes through in your PJ work.

Keep up the great work.
