Almost famous...

The local newspaper published one of my tornado photos!


Sadly it was on page 27and so small it is hard to see properly, but hey ho.

By the way, the 3 monitors thing is not cheap to do.  Apart from having the 3 monitors, you also need a graphics card that costs more than a basic PC! But it will be worth it when he goes to Uni - a screen for assignments, a screen for reading related stuff and another one for video chat with us and friends.  OK, the gaming possiblities are also amazing, but he assures us that he really needs it for his work  :-)

Congrats on making the newspaper! The first step to becoming a photojournalist? It may have not made the front page (there were probably pictures of some sort of sporting venue going on in London), but it did make it into print.

My son as a two monitor system and that wasn't cheap as well. Sometimes you need that 2nd (and 3rd) screen to keep up with all the new on line stuff. Besides, I'm sure it will really makes him a better gamer, I mean, scholar.

I hope you bought extra copies of the newspaper! That's exciting!
I have no doubt your son is using his 3 monitor setup for schooling...
My 15 year old has a self-made 2 monitor set up, but I'm pretty sure it's for gaming. It's amazing what technology is like these days.

Sorta famous, yay for you. Fun to have your photo in the local paper, and even more so that it is a photo of a tornado!

Wow, you made the news! I haven't forgotten, however, that we saw it HERE first!
