Actually I am on the West coast. We are the last city on the Oregon coast before California. I saw the link to your newspaper. I will check it out. Wish we had someone in our are who felt the way you do about photography of our profession. Cant even get the local newspaper (Curry Coastal Pilot) to even show up at a scene. We take our own pics and they use them. Thanks Joseph for all you do.
