HubCap: Better photos needed
Contributed by: Brendan Leonard/YourHub.com   on 10/10/2006

Well, come tomorrow, we'll be able to say that we used to have two guys named Brendan working here. Brendan Harrington, the better half of our presentation team, photographer and the guy I shared my cubicle with, is leaving us.

It's okay. Sometimes better opportunities come along and people have to do what's best for them. We understand.

In Brendan's case, the better opportunity is becoming a stay-at-home dad after Oct. 24, when he and his wife, Stephanie, welcome their first son into the world. He'll also be working as a freelance photographer, experiencing the glitz and glamour that comes along with that fast-paced career. And changing diapers.

Brendan used tospend a couple of days each week shooting photos at one metro area event or another, from Edgewater Days to high school baseball games to county fairs. We used his photos in just about all of our Thursday print editions. And now he's leaving us.

So, to fill the void, we're looking for some pretty good photos from community members. We know not everyone out there is a professional photographer. But I'll tell you one thing: Your photos are better than mine. Go ahead, click through the slide show on the upper right. Let me know what you think.

Better yet, get out your digital camera and take a few photos of whatever is going on in your life -- it doesn't have to be an action photo of a goal-line stand in the state football playoffs. It can be a shot of your Pee-Wee football team at a barbecue after their Saturday morning game, or of your niece blowing out the candles on her birthday cake, or a view of the sunset from your back porch. Take some photos, register if you haven't already, and post them on YourHub.com.

Ugh, terrible. I hope No. 3 is a technical diffuculty, not a photo.

Brendan, it always delights me that you take worse pictures than I do. Putting aside pictures 3-5, I like that picture 2 has the clock tower emerging from Brendan's head like a miniature party hat.
