One SUPER Superintendent

Dr Elizabeth Morgan is Superintendent of Washington County (MD) Public Schools, the current Maryland State Superintendent of the Year, and the current National Superintendent of the Year. Yup, right here in little ol' Hagerstown, MD. I love this town!

She was asked to read to children at Maugansville Elementary School during Read Across America Week, and I was their to shoot images for the Herald-Mail. Dr Morgan really got into the spirit of things and captured the children's attention and imagination with her animated voice and gestures.



This photo captures perfectly the interaction Dr Morgan had with the students and the story. Not everyday that your 1st grader has a story read to them by the National Superintendent of the Year! So back to the paper I go feeling like I did my job. Not So. The editors thought the photo made her look angry and scary. Please, just read the photo caption and you know what is going on in the photo. So the photo was cut, it didn't even make the web, and they ran this one.



Once again, Photojournalism was kept in the closet and a weaker image made the paper, all because someone thought we MIGHT make someone look bad. Please, Just read the photo caption.
