A thought for a great story for the Star

It occurred to me last evening.

A great story for The Star.

They should at least do a story on local talent, photographer Eric Bowers and his work.

So much of it is so sharp, crisp, unique and wonderful. (He has his detractors but let's not quibble. That's a style issue).

This shot of downtown, above, for instance. It's just one of his latest pieces.

It would be great the paper, great for Eric and great for people who, if not on Facebook, have no idea, maybe, that he's out there doing great stuff.

Here's another of his latest work:


Clearly, he does stunning, creative, wonderful work.

Here's an extension of that thought for The Star:

Go beyond this one person and his blog. Cover other bloggers in the area--there are lots--and see what they do and why and maybe even where. There should be some great stories out there. Great, local stories. There are more photographers and attorneys and restaurant critics, etc. (And for the sarcastic out there, no, hell no, I absolutely don't mean me. Don't even start).

Yes, there may be the problem that it gets people away from newspapers, if that's the way they think down there (at The Star) but for the most part, the people who don't know of these people already, wouldn't and won't know of them otherwise. It's a natural link for the paper and its faithful readers.
