And so it goes.
In the news biz...i bet a lot of you out there don't realize how many miles a reporter and photographer walk, before they get the story.
Today's mission...should we accept...and we did.
Find the woman struck by lightning.
My photographer Laura and I had an idea, but no specific address of this lady. We didn't let that stop us. We drove around the city of Lebanon for 30 minutes...BINGO! We finally found the street she lives on --yes she 's still alive thankfully--but there was No street sign so we asked around to make sure the ally we were on , was the right one.
Another 30 minutes of knocking on doors...nothing. Finally we get a tip, the address! SCORE!
What an adventure to get the interview! Sometimes they fall right in your lap. Others-- you're really working for it and praying ! But after the sweat and frustration...the taste of victory is sweet, when you acheive the goal for that work day:)
i hope this gives you an inside look at what we go through on a weekly-- if not daily basis. but don't feel sorry for us...it's all part of the hunt !
that's it for this blog: i leave you with a quote:
"Always do what you are afraid to do."
