Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n

On Tuesday<\/a> I mentioned I would tell the story of HarryNowell.com getting free local promotion.<\/p>\n

The Story<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our community has a fantastic email based bulletin board that gets sent out to thousand(s) of local people. I often post notes of community interest with links to my blog for additional info and photos. It’s good for the community and good for exposure.<\/p>\n

A couple of weeks ago an anonymous person remarked on the community bulletin board: “I am tired of that photographer guy posting on the community board…” I was mortified.<\/p>\n

Support<\/strong><\/p>\n

The next day there was glowing support<\/em> for me and even scorn for the anonymous poster! That was just the beginning – two more full days of supportive postings came in through the community board and email.<\/p>\n

It was heart warming!<\/p>\n

… And then the phone rang. Chelsea author, Phil Jenkins<\/a>, called to inquire about the whole debackle. Phil writes a regular column in the local newspaper – the Low Down<\/a> – highlighting artists in the area. He wrote an article on three prominent working photographers in the region – myself, J David Andrews and Mike Beedell<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All good news!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The only downside<\/em> was the paper cropped an important part of the photo I sent in. That doesn’t reflect well on my work. Sigh. The media always has the last word! The full photo:<\/p>\n

All in all it was a pretty neat week watching how the media works. And it was all free<\/em><\/strong>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
