In Print

I wish I could say I was in print. But I'm not. A photo of mine is in print. On the cover of the entertainment section of my local newspaper, The Round Rock Leader. But, after clearly being informed of a request (made not of me but someone else!) to be credited -- I don't see my name anywhere!

Do you?


Mind you, I didn't crop anything off that image except the margins. Here's the original:

Looks better on newsprint, I admit, as it's just a little hot.

Here's the good news. I've been meaning to contact these people to see if they need a reviewer. So I did. I got a tepid reception -- maybe because I started out with requesting a credit for my photo next time. But I'm a sensible person, and since I am, I didn't push the issue, as I was fishing for further work with them.

Turns out, they're cutting back on this section. No surprise from a city that couldn't fund it's own community theatre $5k a year and determined the theatre should have NOTHING while spending $1 million on improvements on a golf course because their new slogan is "Sports Capital of Texas."

In Georgetown, an even smaller 'burb than Round Rock where $5k is only a portion of one night's ticket sales, they proudly parade the casts of their musicals in front of the City Hall. Oh, and by the way -- the aforementioned shot is of the lead actors in the Georgetown Palace's production of Moon Over Buffalo. Go see it!

And don't steal my photo!
