Feature Leads

In his hands is a Nikon, with a chipped body and orange wire showing in places. That camera has been with him for 700,000 shots. 700,000 moments that Woody Welch has captured forever in photos.


Even when he was fifteen, Woody Welch knew his dream. He wanted to be a photographer, an adventurer, to capture moments in time.


He's wearing a red bandana on his head, a Cesar Chavez shirt, and ripped jeans and leaning against his Prius. His bright blue eyes stare with optimism at the new studio he's opening, with blank walls, waiting to be filled with his photography.

  1. I like the first lead, simply because it has a different angle than expected. This one would make me want to keep reading the story.

  2. Go with the second one. It sets you up to go stright into a anecdote, and flows well.

  4. The Third is by far the best. I gives a good physical despcription of the main character of the feature which allows the reader to imply a lot of him. I really sets up the mood of the story.
