story here.

the two photos are mine.
the story went live today at 5pm and hopefully will appear in a newspaper near you tomorrow. and hopefully a newspaper near me, too, so i can have a hard copy for myself.

i know this is old news to some of you who have had pictures published in papers and magazines all over the world (for which i congratulate you), but this is my first, and hopefully not my last.

i was showing my friend Cortney pictures of Audrey and telling her about all these fans/stalkers/roleplayers that obsess over her.
Cortney, being a writer and all, sees story opportunities all over, and got in touch with Audrey. and since i've been taking pictures of Audrey for a year or so now and we've gotten to be friends, i apparently was the natural pick to illustrate the story.

PM me, I am curious of how you were able to make the photo submission.  I cover quite a bt local fire/rescue/ems work throughout Central Ohio.  I am interested in how you landed it.
