Default Chemical Fire at Hamtramic Plant
This is a picture I took of a chemical fire burning in Hamtramic, MI. I submitted the photo to Detroit Fox 2 News and within 2 Hours the photo had been viewed 104,000 times. Very cool and amazing. I also received a note from the Fox 2 News stating that my photo would appear on the breaking news program. Note to self: Always have camera ready. A career in photojournalism may be just around the corner .

Welcome to DPS, thats a great image, you captured the firemen at work too, very well done. And how exciting to have your photo shown in the breaking news. Looks like you have a new career in the future.

Nice work, it just shows that you should always carry a camera.
