Another (Former) Student Winner
From the in box ...
After Lindy (Dugger's) good news about scoring 2nd place for spot news in NPPA's monthly clip contest, I realized that I had placed third in NPPA's monthly multimedia contest! First place went to the The New York Times and second went to the St. Petersburg Times. Check me out. [Ed's. note: Lindy seems to have placed in third, but on two occasions ...]

UGA PJer in DC
Documentary Photography student Rachel Bailey has skipped out on class today to be in Washington, D.C., for the inauguration. (With my permission, for my class, at least.) She'll be bringing us a first-person report on the Grady Journal site this week, but in the meantime has managed to get two photos published on the New York Times' web site - one from Monday morning and another from Tuesday morning.
Ms. Bailey is suffering from a bit of hypothermia and hyperbole, but said, "I just got in from the most frigid day of my life to find that (the second image on the Times' site). How come you never mention how much being a photojournalist feels like being a rock star?"
Well, somethings you need to figure out on your own ...
