Those of you who have known me a long time will remember the years of my career in photography back in college and my enjoyment of it ever since. A month or so ago, I threw my hat in the ring as a photographer for a local hiking guide book author who also writes for national publications. He had seen my work and was very interested in working with me.
Shortly after we talked, a photo call went out from him to local accredited photographers for shots of some rails-to-trails photos. They were needed for an article he was writing on the top 10 rails-to-trails hiking in the West for a publication called City Dog Magazine. I went to work finding the two most handsome models possible and bribing them to help me out. I spent a good portion of a morning snapping away and carefully watching my models for signs of "I'm done now". Luckily, we wrapped with some great stuff and I submitted my photos to the publication. I received word shortly afterward that one of my photos was chosen! It was a paid job ta' boot- so I was thrilled. This month the article and photo came out. I couldn't have asked for better subjects and was really excited to see some reward from the hobby I value as one of my favorite activities!
