Well as most of you know, my job has been eliminated at the newspaper and Friday will be my last day. I have enjoyed the run of 25+ years, but looking forward to the future. I want to personally thank all of those who made my job easy, and some of those who made my job harder, I am a better person for it. I want to thank all the police and fire departments for unprecedented access to scenes, the tips that all of you (you know who you are) gave me, and the information that I received that made me the best spot news photographer in Maryland and Delaware year after year. To the schools that I enjoyed shooting all the sports and school events over the years. I will miss the daily grind (not really some days) but I believe that I was always a professional. To all the police officers and darn fire police I pissed off, sorry but I had a job to do also. I will see each and everyone of you on the "Other" side of my life and excited what that will bring! To you folks, Cheers!!!
Best of luck to you and Brice, your artistic skills along with Brice's acumen were always like a cool and refreshing oasis of goodness in a sandy, dry, yellow sheet, bird cage lining, fish wrap, desert of journalistic malaise.
Your talents have been wasted ever since the progressive peddling scum at gannett and their agenda driven lackeys took over.
I see a growing need for PI(private investigation ) in this area. AS many are crooked and against the law , ethics are a major problem. Let me know if you want to partner in this excellent opportunity .
Todd, you were all ways my favorite press guy I would bump into from time to time. I was that long haired bearded guy shooting news for WBOC back in the late 90's.
I wondered if the axe was coming for you, sorry it did, you were the best that any newspaper could have working for them.
good luck, hope there is a way to find out where you go.
Todd, for what its worth when the Daily Times got rid of you and Brice Stump - they got rid of me. I cancelled my subscription yesterday, good luck with future endeavors
Todd, NOTHING is forever except in Government employment. The "need" lasts for only so long they moves on. I worked for Ditigal Equipment Corporation for a number of years that I anticipated to be there for years. My anticipation was wrong. I now drive a bus.
I had the privilege of going out on a State boat many years ago off Deal Island for the Skipjack race, and Todd was along, too. We had a great time and both got some great pictures. I really enjoyed it, and have had a great appreciation for Todd and his work. He will be missed, but hopefully he will slide right into some new opportunity (maybe helping Richard Crumbacker-- wouldn't that be cool?) Best wishes to you, Todd!
The PI thing sounds like good the city needs it there is so much cover up and neglect. A good investigation would be the unsolved homicides in Salisbury and missing persons. They have been neglected by all but their families for far too long.
They are losing a great employee!! He is a friend of the family and also did my wedding pictures! Best wishes
ReplyDeleteGood Luck Todd!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes from all of us.
Hey, Todd, just want to say you did a great job and thank you!
ReplyDeleteThe Daily Times is nothing more than a write-off for Gannett, the mighty media corp. Maybe I should say corpse. The Daily Rag no longer deserves you.
Hope your future is bright and under your own control.
Good luck Todd. Sorry you got shafted.
ReplyDeletegood luck todd...
ReplyDeleteToo bad they got rid of some of their best people.
ReplyDeleteyou were the BEST thanks for all your hard work
ReplyDeleteOne of the most talented photographers in the area. You will be missed Todd. Your the best.
ReplyDeleteSet up your own business. You know how to do it.
ReplyDeleteSet up as Independent, or work for one of the real papers out there like the Coast Dispatch and others.
ReplyDeleteYou have been freed from your chains. Celebrate!
You've done an outstanding job, Todd.
ReplyDeleteHope to see you around

ReplyDeleteYou will learn that you do what you must for YOU.
Todd,
ReplyDeletePlease, tell us that you didn't sign a non-disclosure agreement.
You have SO many stories to tell!
Best of luck for the future!
