So...our principal Eric set me up.  He came in the last month and said he had a job opportunity for me.  Not knowing what to expect (could be ugly, just kidding, Eric been great) he told me of a photo taking job that needed a photographer.  I don't for one second think of my self as a photographer.  Seriously, seriously it is a total hobby for archiving this last 4 years and for times of total boredom.  I would much rather think of my self as something to do with music, than a photographer.  I'm totally not creative with music or photographer either.  I am consistently jealous of my sister's or student's photos.  Way better than mine. 
Eric apparently disagrees with my thinking and told this editor lady that I take "amazing" pictures and she emailed me about doing a few photos for a journal that Eric is writing about living in the country.  He will journal for a week and I will take a bunch of photos of Eric doing what he does, mushing, hunting, principaling, etc.  Should be a lot of fun actually. 
I sent the lady some pictures from the last couple of years and she replied that I was hired.  Hired, I thought that was funny for some reason.  She is even sending me a contract. haha.  They will have rights to the photos and everything.  Real official.  The whole thing is totally a chance type of thing and total thanks to Eric for thinking of me.  I appreciate it.  Someone this Christmas said this is how careers get started.  Well see about that.  Would be a fun retirement though.  Remeber that's only 16 years away.  I better get better at this picture thing.
