My K7 Got Me On Page 3 Of The Geelong Advertiser (Local Newspaper)

Christopher M.W.T · 05:43 AM

Published on Page 3 in the Saturday edition of the local paper, it reaches about 150,000-200,000 readers and is the second oldest papers in Australia.

I must apologise for the article itself, I didn't write it. The reporter seemd quite fresh and conducted the interview with me over the phone, she didn't quite capture what I was trying to explain, however gladly she did mention that I was using a Pentax

Also the scan is a bit cropped, couldn't fit the whole page.

LOL at the food stains!

I must insist, however, that the K-7 did not get you on page three... you did. Very dramatic shot.

Congrats on the publication.
Quite a buzz when you see your work on the local paper, eh?
Oh.. what a feeling... Pentax!

I learnt how to do those kinds of shots that night, pretty impressed with a first attempt.

I hate my hair that length, I usually keep it so much shorter its been 4 weeks since my cut and colour.

Worse I am pale, need a tan, damn office work and winter weather.

Congratulations! I can only hope that one day I will have a photo publish in a paper with that type of circulation.
