Well, I've made my debut as a digital-era photojournalist...
I photographed the beginning of the eclipse, downloaded the images, edited
them, called the news desk of the Atlanta newspaper, got permission to
e-mail the images to them, did so... and one is published in today's paper.
You can see them at:

I think that all of us could be contributing to local newspapers (if we want
to) very easily because of the ease of e-mailing the pictures.
