|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Layoff photographer 1 - former employer 0 Jesse Beals, Photographer Tracyton | WA | USA | Posted: 1:34 AM on 10.05.09 ->> Well it's been 7 months since I was let go from photojournalism job. This past weekend I got a moral victory to cherish that makes up for the past 7 months heart ache. Getting the 1 day notice and being thrown to the streets was hard to swallow after 6 1/2 years of hard work. Well I went to the yearly state awards banquet this past weekend (WNPA). Lets just say I did very well, I pulled in 14 awards in video and photography. I also won this years Miles Turnbull best photo photography award and 2009 photographer of the year award. Collecting all the hardware was one thing, but hearing a person in the room say out loud "who in their right mind would lay off the photographer of the year" was priceless. Gotta love people drinking at award banquets  This post is:  Informative (4) | Funny (3) | Huh?

Excellence is a shortsightedly expensive luxury. Look for my essay on new media coming up in the next Digital Journalist. --Mark  This post is:  Informative (1) | Funny (0) | Huh?
