Last Spring, I asked my buddy, who is the President of Symphony North-Houston if I could photograph the orchestra while it was practicing at Northwoods Presbyterian Church on FM 1960.

I wanted to try out some indoor, poorly lighted venues. He said that the orchestra would be happy to have some shots of their practice session. So, off I went.... armed with my P&S Ultra Zoom and my son's 6 mgp Canon DSLR.

Low and behold..they used one of my candid shots ....of the Symphony's conductor, Dr. R Ochoa.

It appears on the front page of the Houston Chronicle Spring/FM 1960 -Northwest Houston Performing Arts- advertisement that arrived yesterday. I knew they were going to use the shot, but I didn't know how prominent its location would be.

The interesting thing is... I removed that shot from my Flickr account some months ago, to save space. I'm not even sure that I have a back-up in my old computer's drive (now defunct).

Keep all of your shots, someplace.....Rich

Congratulations Rich. That is really great. I hope you can find your image because I would really like to see it. I don't get the Chron anymore. I never found the time to read it and always just ended up throwing it away each day.

Terry, no money...but...I didn't take the pictures for that reason. I was just experimenting with my son's DSLR before I bought one.

I was more surprised when they said they wanted to use it in an advertisement. I even asked to be allowed to take the shots over so as to get them some better pix...but..they said nope..no time. I'm, happy. though. Rich
