My First AP Shot

So I had my first AP byline this weekend.

OSU annouced a new athletic director on Friday and I shot it for the World. Short speech followed by interviews. I knew the speech photos would be bland so I went for a more dynamic shot afterwords. I really like the mics.



Both the World and the Oklahoman ran podium shots. They looked pretty similar. The Stillwater News-Press, though, ran the photo above BIG on their sports page. I was curious as to why the podium shots got more play, across the board, than others.

Anyway, I've now been in at least 5 publications - the three biggest papers in the state, the biggest in Stillwater, one glossy mag, and have an AP byline. Not bad for a 21 year old kid, eh?
