Subject: [Leica] Automatique Is now Kind of Onion and Enquirer
From: SonC at aol.com (SonC@aol.com)

A  good time ago,  I was returning from DC, and read a Blue Cross ad in the 
Post ranting about excess hospital beds in Washington.  

So I called the National  Enquirer, and got an assignment.  I worked the 
story, had some great interviews (the Enquirer required tapes of the interviews, 
btw.) , and a couple weeks later,  got a $250 kill fee, with no other 
explanation.  

So, my professional career is also not complete.  But I'm getting pretty good 
at Photoshop, and there's always the Star!

Regards,

Yep - Julia got me the best of the onion 2002 out of the library when she
was there the other day - hilarious ("Alec Baldwin secretes own hair
gel"!) - I just wish I could find the one story they used one of my pix
for - I love putting The Onion as one of my clients/credits on my bio. One
of our PDIers sold a pic the National Enquirer a couple of years back - once
I have that my professional career will be complete... :-)
