Minor Media Mention - AP Edition

I post this in the same thread as my "Minor Media Coverage" series (previously covered here and here). (To those who might construe posting about media coverage, no matter how minor, a bit vain or whatever, I will point out that this blog is as much a scrapbook for myself in 40 years as it is a way to keep in touch with you, my loyal readers*.)

Roaming around down by the Olympic Cauldron the other day, this fellow from the AP snapped a shot of me and got all my info, etc. I got a thought that wouldn't it be cool if the photo showed up in some random newspaper in Alabama or wherever and happened to be noticed by a long lost friend that I've lost touch with? On a whim, I googled myself today and ran across this. Who knows; maybe it isn't a big deal to get a picture of yourself posted on the AP website. But I thought it was kind of neat. So there. *

(Oh, and for posterity, here is a screenshot for when that site goes down, which I imagine won't be too far in the future, and here is the actual image.)

Well I think it's pretty cool... My highlight in this vein was a photo of me and some others sliding around in the rain at a summer program at the University of Houston. Me and my fellow high schoolers got a kick out of tricking the school's newspaper photographer by saying that we were freshmen majoring in geology (me) and chemistry (the others). We sure punk'd him!!!

@Ryan: I appreciate the link and pic, but I beat you to it...by about 3.5 years. See? (I think I might actually have the physical clip somewhere too.)
