One of my photos was in the Tribune Review, Greensburg, PA's Newpaper!

On December 19th, 2013 around 4AM we started hearing explosions. And then I saw a fire ball in the sky. I started taking pictures but I should have had my tripod, which I had later, but oh well.
I took this photo which ended up (uncredited) in the Tribune Review in Greensburg, PA, on it's 20 Dec 2013 edition, Page 7B.
This photo also was used on WPXI TV 11 in Pittsburgh in their 6:30 AM News cast. The Tribune Review does also have three shots on their web site and they credit me for those shots.
So I can say that I am a Published Photographer.
For the UHH post which I did I am adding the link:

Congratulations! This is pretty impressive. Why didn't they credit you? They should at least post an apology in another issue.

I emailed them the photo aroudn 5AM and they put it on their site, then they sent a photographer out to get the front page photo (after the fire had almost died down) and they placed the emailed photo on page B7 without credit. I could have emailed them the day it came out and asked them to but didn't.
My name does show up on the internet version of the story with two other photos which I took. One shows kids walking up the middle of the road who had to leave their homes in the middle of the night.
Maybe next time I will email them. But I was so happy to have them use one of them. At least I can tell folks, "as see in the Greensburg Tribune Review".

Right. I just love the "I finally made it" story I can tell!
I tell folks I almost made it in the history books when I was in the Air Force. I was on the ground crew of the Voyager in 1986 and when it landed, they moved the plane into the hanger where the media was, so President Reagan could call the pilots. I punched down the phone line to the PA system I put up, so all the hanger could hear the President's phone call... He sent a telagram instead, so I never made it in the history books.

But I did get a photo published by a Pittsburgh paper.
Thanks, Randy
