Dear Ms. Blackburn, IFPO,
I love your organization! I have been on the front page of three local
newspapers over the past well, since 1992, because of you. It all started
because I needed to get access to photograph an event for an organization
my husband and I were members of, and I couldn't get in because I didn't
have press access. 19 years later, I never have a problem gaining access.
With my press pass and dash card, I'm instantly escorted to wherever I
need to go.
During the 1994 California earthquakes, no one was able to drive the
Interstate 5 freeways, but my husband and I were escorted by police while
I photographed for the local newspaper, all because of my press pass from
IFPO! It was an incredible and unnerving event. We didn't want to drive
under freeways overpasses for fear they would topple on us! And the I-5
freeway, totally empty, that was something to see! That is the major freeway
from northern to southern California. Thanks again for giving photographers
a venue for their talents.
Sincerely,
Carol Hill, California
IFPO Member since 1992 |
