Update: Dan White has accepted the assignment in Philadelphia and so NikonCafe members will now be shooting this entire assignment for the Times Herald-Record of Middletown, N.Y. There is a very good chance that this will be the cover story of the Sunday paper on June 10th with a two-page spread inside, so this will be great.
I think it would be interesting and instructive for everyone if we ask the three NC members to compare notes and photos after this has been shot and published. And I'll attempt to arrange something like that next week.
In the meantime, a round of applause for Dan White, Davidzvi and Tommerifc for stepping up to the plate on this!
Okay, Let's try this again.
My newspaper is doing a story about how young people leave the Orange County, N.Y. area and never return. The story will run on the weekend of June 9th and it focuses on three young adults who have moved to Chicago, Philadelphia and Sturbridge, Mass., so I'm looking for three folks in those areas who can handle these assignments.
Now if you remember, I tried this in Washington D.C., and wasn't able to connect with anyone. Pay is the same as last time: $100 for the assignment. Deadline is a little more flexible, since I won't need the photos immediately, but the next day will be fine. We're looking for an environmental portrait from each shoot: You send us two or three, well-lit poses and we'll select the best shot for publication.
I can send you tearsheets from the newspaper and you'll get your shots posted online. I'll give this one until Friday, June 1st before I need to call the local newspapers.
If you're interested, send me a PM and I'll give you more details.
By the way, here is a link to the newspaper website:

If you click on the Photo Gallery, "Vietnam Vet Buried in Arlington" you'll be able to see the 11 photos that were turned in by Jill DiPasquale, the woman I hired to shoot the burial today at Arlington National Cemetery. Jill did a super job on these pix, as I'm sure you'll all agree.
