Freelance

So I had my first freelance gig in the Bay Area with a newspaper finally publish. I had covered one assignment already, but it will not be published till the end of the month.

I was the go-to-guy for a Friday night showdown between two prep football powerhouses, Oak Grove and Gilroy High Schools in the Central Coast Section Open Final Championship game. I was on assignment for the Blossom Valley Times, which is part of Times Media Inc.

It was a cold night at San Jose City College, but an awesome game that led to me getting two front page photos, a story and four inside photos.

Boy, have I missed the newspaper life. I missed the fresh stories, the interaction with people, and the excitement of the events themselves. It was nice not to be in an office all day, and even nicer to be making money.
