A matter of perspective

The temperature was a brisk 14ºF when I woke up this morning. That's crazy cold for the Mid-South.

It reminded me of when I was filling in as chief photographer at the Jonesboro Sun on on Jan. 25, 2008 and was asked to shoot a picture of a frozen fountain in the front yard of a home on the south side of town. It was, from the perspective of a Hoosier, a nothing shot.

But the editor thought it was such a big deal that it ran three columns wide above the fold on the front page the next day.
