Okay I am blatantly bragging again but I just can't help it. Photo Journalism son is interning for the Mail Tribune here in Southern Oregon and he just made the front page with this wow photo of the electrical storm of the year here in Ashland last night. His editor said get a lightning shot but not just a lightning shot. So J hiked all over the hills of Ashland to get this shot which shows our city int he foreground and the very dicey lightning show that was literally going on all around him. From the hill at about 10 pm he called his editor and said "I have THE shot. Can I get off the hill now???" Long story short they stopped the presses and redid the whole front page to feature the shot. A young man in Ashland was absolutely beaming today. and a certain mom named K was pretty proud as well. hope you can indulge me the occasional brag, k

But it is a beautiful shot!
a once-in-a-lifetime picture, no wonder you're proud of him!
Beautiful! The hard work really paid off. :)
Beautiful shot! Kudos to your son...nice job!
We had a storm like that the other day, but I sure didn't get any shots like this one. Congrats! Baby's first byline is always a special day!
I very rarely hear about the stories behind photos. Thanks so much for sharing this, and congrats to both you and your son! =)
Hey, if a Mom can't brag a little, what are we here for? Wonderful shot! You should be proud!
This photo is stunning, congrats to your son for a perfect shot!
That's an amazing shot. I love the way he's managed to keep the light in the hills
