Writing for a small paper, I have to take my own photos.  I have no training in photography, so I’m always happy if I get a decent one like this one today for a story on local produce in cafeteria lunches.  Of course, visuals are even more important on-line, so I’d like to improve my photography skills.

An update on this photo:  Here’s a boy with bright blonde hair, big blue eyes, in an orange shirt eating a green pear, and the editor put it on a black-and-white page, even though there’s plenty of color pages in the newspaper.  What can you do?
