Long Time

Its been a long time since my last post I have been taking some ok photos. I just got back from a hut trip it was intense and awesome it was a 5.5 mile hike to the cabin with a ton of gear on my back and it was my first time on a split board trying to hike up a mountain. Today I feel tired I got back to work to read my emails. On Tuesday's cover the photo was cropped really badly by the copy desk like so badly you can't even make any sense of the photo. I was already on my way to the hut but I received these emails...
"Preston,
I know you're gonna get some grief over today's cover shot. Just had to be one to rib ya.
What happened?
Visually yours,
Jack"

"just wanted to let you know that the last two pictures that you have on the front page yesterday and today have got to be the two worst photos I have ever seen. neither of them make any sense (nice picture of the top of someone's head! and the out of focus American flag!) two quality photos!! maybe i should be sending this to your editor, because obviously he thought this was good front page material!! or maybe this is why you guys work for a small non-quality paper!!"

"Hey preston,
Just curious about your picture is that your head or someone elses? Is that twelve gauges head or yours? Sorry no ill will meant just having a little laugh at your expense.

Your faithful and vigilant fans

So there you go the most emails I have ever received in one day about one picture and I had no control over what happened to it...think about how it feels to have everyone in the entire county to see what you did for work the day before always watching and judging every picture you ever publish there are going to be some good days and some really bad days, and everyone gets to see both.
