Full time photog? I wish. Maybe someday. Back at the end of April, I got some picks of the immediate past pres working a crowd at the Phx Civic Plaza. That was fun.
I also write, get an occasional byline story, and do research.
When the AZ Legislature is in session, I write summaries on bills (regular session count exceeds 1,100). I also track election races, from candidate announcements through ballot count, for state legislature, congress (two new seats for AZ this year), and statewide offices.
Primary market is lobbyists, government agencies and activist/nonprofit groups, for a daily in-depth report during session and three times/wk news/gossip sheet on life at the Capitol during off-session times.
BTW, I know your sadness for sending a kid to college... this last weekend, and today, I know the sadness my mother had when I first went to NAU 30 years ago. I remember her and I driving up to Flag, and me dropping her off at the bus station. As a 17 year old, I didn't grasp the significance of the moment, or the reason why she cried as she got on the bus back to Phx... I know it today.
Since I only have one child that's my blood, I imagine it will be even more profound in 6 years.
By then, however, Peter the new Wildcat expects to have an engineering B.S. and a J.D. I hope he stays focused. If so, he can do it.
Didn't your stepdaughter want to go to law school?
