My Photo Debut

A friend of mine was on his way to my place for Thanksgiving on Thursday when he stopped by the local 7-11 to get some wine for dinner. He couldn't buy any though because a woman had accidentally driven her Honda Accord through the front door.

Fortunately, no one was hurt but the woman driving was a bit shaken. I ran down to the 7-11 shortly after putting in the turkey, so I had nothing better to do than go look at the mess and shoot some photos. I went back and emailed them to the photo desk and the picture above ran in the Daily News' Friday edition. Now I'm an officially a published news photographer! How's that for multi-tasking!?!

The firemen and police officers on the scene were very professional....I get the feeling they see this a lot.

Don't worry, I'm not going to give up cartooning for a career in photojournalism just yet. Like any situation there's always a bit of humor....the sign placement is wonderful.
