Although there were plenty of competitive activities, KATUSA and U.S. Soldier friendship Week here took on a more somber tone this year. Units from across the garrison participated in the various events, which were cut back because the Republic of Korea is going through a period of mourning after the March 26 sinking of the ROK Navy’s Cheonan battle ship, which claimed the lives of 46 sailors. Among the activities shared were Korean wrestling, basketball, volleyball, taekwondo, relay races, arm wrestling, soccer and softball. Units also visited the Cheonan Battle Ship Joint Memorial Altar in the 7th Republic of Korea Air Force (Air Communication Service Group) compound, adjacent to Humphreys Garrison. KATUSA and U.S. Soldier Friendship Week promotes the spirit of goodwill, cultural understanding and friendship between KATUSA and American Soldiers and reinforces a bond that was forged during the early days of the Korean War in 1950.

The newspaper industry is losing millions of dollars of ad revenue to the online world which include blogs, cellphones and now the new iPad. Because of their financial losses newspapers are forced to reduce their staff dramatically. Some newspapers are even laying off all of their photographers and are using freelancers instead. Now this is bad news for the staff of the newspapers but it is great news for those millions of freelance photographers out there looking to make some extra cash. I’ll show you the top 5 things that can get you photography jobs from newspapers and magazines worldwide.

#1 Severe Weather - Severe weather like tornadoes, flooding, hurricanes, brush fires and even earthquakes can make for some very dramatic photos and are of special interest to news editors. Photographing severe weather can be severely dangerous and extreme caution should be taken to avoid injury or in some cases even death. Because of the danger and risk involved in taking the photos, they usually sell anywhere from $ 50-200 per photo. Photos of major damage may sell but the photos news editors really want are actual rescues. Police and Fire dept first responders rescuing a trapped person after severe weather passes will make you the most money.. especially if you are the only one there!

#2 Structure Fires – Flames sell. Bottom line! There is no question that a fire is a tragedy for the owner of the home or business, and they happen almost every day but what sells is flames. Most photos from fires you see in your local newspaper are of a charred building with maybe some firefighter with a hose in his hand putting out the hot spots. That is boring and sometimes they won’t even run a photo of the fire, unless there are flames! By the time the local newspaper hears about the fire, dispatches a photographer and he reaches the scene most likely the fire is already out making a boring photo. So if you happen to see a large column of black smoke in the air with fire trucks racing to the scene.. get there! Because if you get photographs of flames and/or a rescue.. you could of just made $ 200!

#3 Car Accidents - Car accidents normally don’t sell very well unless it is a major crash with a fatality. Even if the crash is a minor one with minor injuries I always take a photo just in case. As a newspaper photographer I take my cameras with me everywhere I go, so if I happen to see a car crash even if it is minor I usually snap a photo. Even if I just stick the camera out the window and fire off a few shots as I pass by I will usually do it.. The reason I do this is because you never know who the driver of the vehicle is! It could be a local professional athlete, political figure, musician, actor or even a well known local celebrity. If the newspaper later decides to run a story about how the mayor’s son was involved in a car crash or a drunk baseball player crashed into a fire hydrant, then you can sell that normally boring photo as an illustration to a local news story. A freelance photographer friend of mine once shot a major car crash involving the son of a famous athlete. At the time he had no idea who was in the car but shot it anyways as he always does. The real money shot came when the victim’s famous father showed up to the scene of the crash to watch his son get cut out of the mangled car with the Jaws-Of-Life. He sold that video for thousands of dollars and is still collecting royalty check to this day!

Now those are the top three but take a look at your local newspaper today and check out the types of spot news photos that are inside. And don’t forget the local television stations too, they normally won’t buy a photo unless it is of extreme news value and no other visual proof exists. So lets say you photographed a really bad car crash late at night and you were the only photographer there. You find out the next morning that it was the star player of the local football team and his injuries sideline him for the rest of the season! Guess what.. you just made some serious cash for just a few photos you took!

Remember that most cities usually have two major newspapers and five news television stations so you pitch the photos to all of them charging them $ 100 each and you just made $ 700 for simply taking a photograph! Now there are some newspapers that will pay as low as $ 50 per photo and as high as $ 200 for the photos so your prices can vary but not bad for less than an hour of work right!?

Some people people called Stringers make a living chasing spot news with some making over a thousand dollars in sales a week. With the newspapers cutting back staff photographers an experienced Stringer can be a news editors new best friend!

One of the worst things you can do for your positive thinking is to watch, listen and read the News. I have deliberately not watched the news for over five years now.

I believe that all the negativity from the news media, leads people to think that the world is such a dreadful place and that there is a mugger around every corner. In which case, we should be mugged at least 300 times a year.

Friends of mine always states that they have to keep in touch with what is going on in the world and they don’t feel ‘connected’ until they have a coffee and have watched the news on TV. I just call it an addiction.

When I finally gave up watching the news it was like I had tried to give up drugs. I had the cold turkeys and felt that I was missing out on something. However, I quickly began to realise that there is more positive stuff going on in the world.

Don’t get me wrong there will be more natural and unnatural disasters that we will not have any control over and the most I can do is to be giving of my time, prayer and money to help those made homeless and lost families in need of water, food, and shelter. It is important to help others whenever you can however you can.

There will of course be those who say that the world will end in 2012 or that the earth will reclaim what it needs to survive. They say to expect more disasters and misery leading up to and in 2012. I’m more optimistic and I tend to throw out that mumbo jumbo stuff as pessimistic nonsense. There is no doubt that we need to be kinder to the world and each other. We really don’t need a pending disaster to tell you to love each other as we would love ourselves. The real pain is not being able to tell those people we have lost how we love them.

There will always be someone who will tell me what disasters I have missed on the news. I never get over the surprised look on their faces when I say that I didn’t hear about that particular incident.

Spending time watching the news is really wasting time. I do believe that we can spend our time more productively than to swamp our minds negative news. As I say, someone will always find away to bring the negative in to a conversation. I do turn it around and ask what they are doing to help those in need and how we can work together to make a change to the positive. It is hard to get someone to look at the positive in every situation when they are tuned in to seeing the negative. I know that it is hard when you have lost love ones to suddenly start to see the positives. I just think that we need to recognise that in our grief, we need to be strong and show respect to those we have lost, by living life to the full and giving to life in the full.

I throw down this challenge. Give up the news for the next 30 days and pay close attention to how you are viewing the world after 30 days. I can guarantee that you will see more positives in the world than you ever did.

Convoy live-fire training – 25 March 2009 – 194th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion – Story Live-Fire Complex – U.S. Army Korea

194th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion conducts
convoy live-fire at Story Range, Republic of Korea.

PANMUNJOM – With weapons at the ready, members of 194th Combat
Sustainment Support Battalion set out at dawn to conduct convoy
live-fire training here, March 25.

The fast-paced exercise exposed Soldiers to many of the real-world
perils found on today’s asymmetric battlefield, culminating in a series
of drills designed to hone their skills in reacting to road-side bombs
and enemy small-arms fire.

"These Soldiers have been training for the past six months to prepare
for this day and their hard work is evident in the outstanding
performance I’ve seen throughout the battalion," said Command Sgt. Maj.
Nichelle S. Fails.

At times gritty and intense, the Soldiers worked in teams to zero in on
enemy targets with their rifles and machine guns.

"This scenario is interesting and very realistic," said Pvt. Jiwoo Kim,
a KATUSA assigned to the battalion.

Pvt. Dylan Florres, a battalion mechanic and one of the day’s enemy
combatant role-players, sees the training as realistic and a good way to
build unit cohesion. "What we are doing is basically helping Soldiers
learn how to train safely and work as a team," he said.

"Everybody is highly motivated and ready to fight," said Chief Warrant
Officer 4 Joseph Williams, HHC, 194th Combat Support Sustainment
Battalion, safety officer. "Taking care of our Soldiers is very
important, we don’t want any injuries. That’s why we do risk assessments
and go over all of the details to make this a very safe, yet realistic,
training environment."

Master Sgt. Kenneth Ashley, the day’s pyrotechnics NCO, described the
training as important in building teamwork within the battalion. "Here
in Korea and in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, we need to make sure
our Soldiers know how to react under fire and to ensure they are
prepared for anything the enemy throws at them."

Advancing in the field of news article writing is relatively easy as the elements you need to use are basically the same. News articles follow certain format and use the same language and writing style so you can never go wrong. In order to succeed in this field, you need to follow some guidelines that are considered very important in the field of journalism. These are the following:

1. Stick with facts. You can’t really make up stories when writing news articles. Unlike when writing for the web, you will surely be held liable for any wrong information that you feed to your readers. As this will greatly affect your reputation, I recommend that you choose only reliable sources and that you verify all your information before you get your articles published.

2. Write with clarity. News article writing is not a field where you have the right to confuse your readers. You must be able to write in such a way that your audience will understand your stories without the need to read them over and over again.

3. Be the first. This is one of the secrets to make a lasting mark in this field. See to it that you’re always the first one to know and write about breaking news. If you do this all the time, it is more likely that you’ll be able to promote easy recall among your target audience.

4. Keep it short. Although there are some people who may be able to spend hours reading newspapers, there are more who are pressed for time. To serve them better, ensure that you keep your articles relatively short and concise. Tell your stories using as few words a possible.

The biggest news in pictures yesterday was a massive wildfire through northeastern Minnesota which had expanded to over 100,000 acres on Wednesday with haze and the smell of smoke detectable as far away as Chicago and Toronto. The blaze rapidly speeded up this week with the help of consistent northwesterly winds growing to 60,000 acres (24,281 hectares) in just 24 hours. The haze from the fire was heavy enough that some people reported burning eyes and difficulty breathing in the Chicago area. On Wednesday, it had doubled in size again, charring 100,000 acres of wilderness. It is Minnesota’s biggest blaze in 93 years, according to Minnesota Public Radio. No injuries were reported and no buildings had been destroyed, but 36 homes in the nearby community of Isabella were evacuated as a precaution, she said.
