Rescued puppies and a quick slideshow
It’s about 4 p.m. on a Friday in the newsroom. We’ve got a reporter and a photographer back from the arrival in Spokane of 50 American Eskimo dogs from a puppy mill in Kennewick, Wash.
We’ve got about eight photos and some audio. I’m asked to put it all together in a slideshow. And I couldn’t be happier. I’ve always loved the edit process best, so when good material lands in my lap, I feel like a kid at play. Compression issues kept me a little late, but I was able to pound this one out fairly quickly. My reward was pretty good traffic over the weekend.
