This is the first assignment I shot as photojournalist for the Post-Bulletin Newspaper in Austin, Minn. The Matchbox Children's Theatre was having a dress rehearsal of "The Magic Flounder." The media release requesting a photographer said that I could shoot starting at 6:30p but this would have conflicted with my other assignment for the night, the Minnesota caucuses. So I showed up early, half expecting to be yelled at by a controlling director or producer- something that has happened to me several times in similar situations in Minneapolis. I asked the director if it was okay that I was early. She looked very surprised, "Of COURSE! Thank you!!" I could get used to this small-town thing.
