I have a photo and credit on page E9 of today's NY Times. That's in the 
Thursday Style section. It's probably the weakest of all the shots I 
took at the exercise class the other night. But that's because the 
photo desk gave me bad information. I had only two hours to get ready 
for the shoot, and I was told that the story was about a boot camp for 
men that was run by a woman. They asked for lots of shots of her 
whipping guys into shape. That's what I delivered. Next morning, they 
call me and tell me that the instructions were wrong. The story is 
actually about men who don't want to work out in the presence of women. 
Well, of the hundreds of frames I shot, I had one pic of a male trainer 
with a male client. So that's the pic they used. They're still happy, 
but I would have liked to get a nicer shot in the paper. Another pic 
for the story, by a stringer in Texas, is quite good. He apparently 
received better direction and probably had a lot more time. Looks like 
a DX or a photoshop composite. Anyway, I'm pleased to get work from 
them.
