Hello All.
While there are images, February's PUG an example, which would not normally
qualify as "photojournalistic" (because they were, or are "planned"), the
image of the Emu would lead nearly any "b" ("Living," "Style," "Neighbors")
section in most serious newspapers. The local Zoo society would also
appreciate a copy for next year's "petting Zoo" brochure.
Because the image *and* situation were so impromptu, the decidedly comic look
on the Emu's face so untypical of most images of birds (or Emus) as we are
used to seeing them, a reporter getting that photo would have received a
"little extra" in their paycheck (at least from me) for their presence of
mind.
