First published photo

I took my very first photo for print last week. We didn't have any photographers available to take the cover shot, so I grabbed one of the Sagebrush D-70s and pretended to know what I was doing.
The idea was getting a few students together in Nevada gear near the Mackay Statue. This summer issue of the newspaper is marketed toward the incoming students and their parents who will be on campus for orientation over the summer.
Not the most exciting photo in the world, but it's in focus and gets the job done. Not bad for someone who has never operated an SLR.
I'm really looking forward to taking a photo journalism class in the fall. It will be really exciting to get some good photos to expand my portfolio.
