Whenever I’m featured somewhere it’s always surprising for me — and as often as it surprises me, it really feels great too :) Well I Heart Faces is awesome and I was pleasantly surprised when I received an email from them recently asking if I would be a guest judge. In typical Bobby Earle fashion, I took way too long getting back to them, getting images to them, getting their interview questions answered, and so on… but Amy and Angie were such dolls throughout the whole process.
I’m lucky enough to engage in some legitimate photojournalism from time to time, but I don’t bring in any real income with pure photojournalism. If I could pay the bills the way I do now — and not be gone 24/7 like most working PJ pros — I’d strongly consider it. But it doesn’t (pay enough) and I would (be gone too often without my family) so I’m not (a working photojournalist). Even still, I Heart Faces apparently thinks there is enough PJ in my imagery to qualify me for this week’s guest judge — with the topic being “photojournalism” — and that makes me so happy. I’ve always believed that PJ is a real and serious part of my imagery — not just a buzzword. It’s nice when other people think so too :)

Update: I’m TRYING my best to answer everyone’s questions for me in the comment section of the interview. If your question doesn’t require a conversation, I’ll probably be able to answer it!
