So I went to the Roanoke Times today to put Meghan & Tony's engagement photo in. (Go on line and look at the Sunday Feb. 19th edition of Celebrations) After Liz proofed my copy I asked her to show me the size the photo would actually be in the newspaper. She moved things around on her desk and under the glass was a sample page. She said...
It'll be this size. See this cute little guy with the blue eye and the blue outfit? This is the size. As a matter of fact we chose this as a sample because so many people give us tiny photos that don't print well, or the baby has closed eyes. We suggest to them to get a shot like this for publication.
Do you pay royalties to that little boy seeing that you use his face all the time?
We should!
I'll start collecting right now.
Excuse me?
That's my grandson, Nicolas.
Okay, that was pretty funny.
