The Emmy landed at Lemmon Rock fire lookout today - incredible! [View all]

A happy day (after two very sad days) at the fire lookout today. This might just be the first time in history an Emmy statue has been photographed at a fire lookout, and standing on an Osborne Fire-Finder. I share this 2015 Emmy with the Arizona Public Media staffers who worked on the Lemmon Rock Lookout PBS documentary in 2014. Thanks to all of them for making this project a winner.

The AZPM producer actually hiked this in to the lookout this morning for this photo op (the Emmy resides at AZPM on the U of AZ campus). We did an NPR interview while he was there. I'm getting good at these!

Special thanks, also, to WCQS - Western North Carolina Public Radio in Asheville - for the use of their ISDN studio to finish the voice-over for this documentary.
