That's the Biz

Here's a little story of how the news business works. Actually the feature photography side of news. We're doing a story on band camps for our new Living in Washington County magazine. I was assigned to go to Ringgold High School, hang out and shoot their marching band practice. The only picture that I liked out of the nearly 300 frames was this picture of a kid laying in the parking lot, where the band was practicing during a water break. I didn't think we would use it in the magazine because it doesn't illustrate the story and I didn't think we'd use it for news since we were committed to the magazine article but we were so desperate for art for tomorrow's paper we had to use it.

Moral of the story. Never eat a bad burito before riding in a race.
