The Strobist Goes Mainstream

From the article:

Hobby grew up in Florida and moved to Maryland
to work for a chain of weekly newspapers as a staff photographer. He
started work at The Sun in 1999. He has until August to decide
whether to return. “I miss being a news photographer,” he says. “If I
do go back, I would have to reprioritize the blog and post less
frequently.”

He says he still hasn’t made a decision. He
augments his income with teaching — he leaves Thursday for a lighting
seminar in Dubai; last week, he was at a Kentucky university — and says
he loves the new experiences that Strobist has afforded him.

“I have friends from all over the world now,” he says. “My readership is larger than many cities. That’s pretty heady stuff.”
