From Elizabeth Vassolo at TribLocal:
I am one of TribLocal's community producers
and I am working on a new
project to bring our contributing photographer's skills to our
readers.
We are always amazed at the wonderful photo contributions from
residents and photo clubs to our site. So, TribLocal would like to
start a monthly photo column that would tackle a seasonal photo
challenge, like capturing the beauty of spring flowers or catching a
young athlete taking his first T-ball swing.
Would anyone be interesting in working with TribLocal to be a
contributing photo columnist? If there is enough interest, I would
like to rotate photographers each month. The pieces ideally would be
full of tips and suggestions and include photos that illustrate those
tips. I would like to run the first column in March and it would appear
in
all 21 print editions. The subject is capturing spring flowers. If
anyone would like to participate or if you have questions, send me an
email.
Her email is evassolo@tribune.com.
