Major breakthrough for our own Will Baxter!


Hi guys,


Let's all tip our hat and wish our fellow dreamer WILL BAXTER well as he continues to kick major ass in Myanmar, as a major photographer on the world stage.


If you saw Tuesday's New York Times, you saw a Will Baxter photo on the front page (seriously... front page of the NY Times... I'm freaking out!). If you subscribe to NEWSWEEK, then look inside this week's issue to see more Will Baxter photography. You'll also see him soon in the London Dispatch. And you'll probably see more from him in upcoming issues of NEWSWEEK.




You know, for many of us in the APA, we're hopeful for a breakthrough in our craft -- whether that be writing or drawing or in Will's case, photography. For Will, it's like he suddenly scored Batman (as a penciller or writer, whatever). So my hat is off to him.


You'll forgive him for having a weak contribution this issue, I'm sure, as he's busy making a name for himself as a photographer.
If you want to shoot him an email, you can get to him at baxter515@gmail.com. They don't have Hotmail access in Myanmar (it will always be Burma to me) so don't email him at his old addy. And he might not be able to get back to you right away, but I'm sure he'd appreciate the words of encouragement. He'll be in Myanmar for another three weeks, it looks like.


Go get 'em, WB!

That's fantastic. I admire the heck out of Will. I remember when he was working with my brother-in-law in Chicago, and clearly hating what he was doing.

Kudos to him for striking out and discovering what else was out there for him.

For the record, the first picture in the Newsweek article is horrifying.
