You can just call me "Hot Stuff"

I've worked in newspapers for the majority of my career and while I've moved on to magazines, newspapers still have a sweet spot in my heart. So when I found out that some of the photos that I took last week in Las Vegas were going to be running in The Chicago Sun Times this weekend, it took a minute for me to realize how big of a deal this was for me personally.

I just remembered taking photos for the Butler County Post back in the day (2001). I would have to go to events such as the local Hee-Haw spectacular or to the annual "Let's dress up an old man in women's clothes against their will at the nursing home show." So to have photos published in a news paper like the Sun-Times is a huge honor.

I'm still a very sub-par photographer but sun shines on a dogs ass some days.

I hope that some small part of credit will go to me for building your photographic skill. I am so proud...like a young Obi-wan to the young Anikan. Or something not so gay.

Awesome! I seem to remember some photos you took ending up in Hustler's "Beaver Hunt". Whatever happened with that?

I had one of my Banner photos show up in the background on an amateur porn website once, but this tops that.
