Great photos happen when you show up

Most of the time, getting the news means you were in the right place at the right time.

For a photographer, that particularly rings true, because if you’re not there, you miss the shot. On Sunday, our photographer was there outside a Goodwill store in North Stafford as smoke billowed out of the building due to a fire in a trash compactor.

Our photographer, Mary, sent me the shot from the scene, as well as statements from witnesses who she spoke with — many of whom were standing around watching the commotion as fire crews worked to douse the blaze.

I always appreciate receiving photos from Mary, and from you. Please email them to us at news[at]potomaclocal.com.
