End

Bad times for the newspaper industry indeed. I'm currently attempting to digest this entire scenario right now. For as long as I have been a photojournalist I've wanted to work for the Rocky Mountain News. I've been very lucky over the last year and a half to have been given that opportunity as a freelance photographer in town. I remember walking into the photo department and meeting with Dean Krakel, the Director of Photography, and showing him my work. After nervously fumbling through my images with him I took off and thought I'd never have a chance. Minutes after meeting with him he called and asked if I would like to do a cover story on NBA superstars Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson. From that moment on I continued to push myself harder than ever as a photojournalist and it's made me who I am today. One can only dream of this sort of opportunity in their lifetime. I've learned a great deal and continue to make storytelling images on a daily basis thanks to the support of everyone on staff at the RMN. Cheers to some of the greatest people I've ever had the pleasure of working with in my small photojournalistic career. Thank you.
