For a journalist/ photographer/ travel writer the greatest high is when you get to see your work in print with your byline. And when it is in a different country it is all the more greater. Whether you get paid or not doesn't matter, it is the high that one gets on seeing their name alongside the work is what matters. That is at least true for me. I work more for a byline than for money. I'd rather earn less and achieve fame as a person doing something useful, rather than be obscure and earn a lot of money.
Yesterday I was eagerly waiting for Dallas Morning News which was supposed to carry my picture (a picture shot by me) along with my byline... and where.. on the cover of the travel supplement. I got up early in the morning and went straight to get the paper and flipped over to the travel supplement and there it was. Though miniscule my name is there big and clear for all to see, right alongside the big 100 pt headline announcing the supplement. Here is a scanned copy of the paper for all of you to see. If you feel I have achieved something do leave a comment... I'd be happy to read it.
