The day has finally arrived when I, Jeffrey Cornwall, have accomplished one of my highest ambitions and taken a large leap in my skills as a photographer. As can be seen below, one of my photos ran with a story today in the Daily Universe. I signed up to be a volunteer photographer for the paper at the end of April. They called a few weeks ago and asked me to come in to be oriented and to give me my first job. I have already shot for a few stories, but this is the first one that has ran with a photo. I have been waiting to tell anyone until I actually got published. In addition, I was in the newsroom editing photos last week when one of the paper chiefs started talking to me, thanking me for the assistance. She then told me they were looking for another photographer for Fall/Winter and said, "Well, if you hang around here enough you might find yourself with a job."
WOW! Great job Jeff! That is so fun! That would also be a great job for the fall/winter! Are you planning on sticking around so you can go for it?
ReplyDeleteHey, Hey, Hey, Heyyyyy! Way to go photo-joe Jeffery Cornwall. That is really exciting to see your name published.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of published photos - I was talking to the Ensign celebrity Dr. Jeff a couple of days ago. He told me about how it happened that the men in his family ended up in the last issue. As they were waiting for the doors to open he decided to get everyone grouped for a photo. A few people in his family had cameras so the group was together mugging for a little while. As they were finishing their shots some "young guy" came by and asked if he could take a photo too. He did and the Murphy's were as surprised as anyone that the photo ended up in the Ensign.
Aw shoot! Nice work Jeff. When you told me about the volunteer stuff I thought that was so exciting. I knew you would get in there soon enough and now you might even get in there permanently. That would be such a FUN JOB!
