Happy Anniversary.
It was seven years ago yesterday, October 24, 2000, that I started at working for the twice-weekly Maryland Gazette, a Capital-Gazette Communications newspaper. Two years later I made the jump to the Gazette's sister paper The Capital, the daily paper, where I am currently. It has been a good seven years with both ups and downs.
I believe I have grown as a photographer over the last seven years. I am still working to get better at the craft and think I learn something new every day. It is a never-ending education and inspiration is everywhere. Just because I have been doing this professionally for 12 years does not mean that there is not more to learn.
I love the Anne Arundel County, Md. area. Baltimore to the north, Washington DC to the south, so much to see, do and shoot. I took the job at the Maryland Gazette so that I could be close to my then beautiful girlfriend, Jennifer, who is now my beautiful wife. She is also the editor of this blog, making me appear to be a better writer than I am. I was lucky to get a job that not only brought me closer to my now wife, but to an area I really enjoy.
Who knows what the next seven years will bring with the way the newspaper industry is changing. I can only hope that they will be as great as the last seven.
