We had a Lightning Storm here in 0regon right after Midnite throughout the early Morning Tuesday here, so between 3am & 4am I was out taking some snapshots of the Lightning show outside of my balcony with my BlackBerry Curve 8330 & decided to send the photos off to the News Weather Channel via E-mail from my BlackBerry Curve 8330 phone.

I had sent my photos off to the News Station a little after 4am in the morning since the News here starts at 5:30am in the morning.

As I'm watching the News during that early Morning & waiting for the Weather report, they kept talking about how they had got some Great photos sent in and wanted to show them on their program. Now, mind you, I had thought that maybe somebody else other than myself had sent in some photos as well in regards to some type of an event or maybe another Weather related photo.

Well nearing the end of their program, the news had came back on & as they got towards the weather, the next thing I know, they mentioned again about how they got some really Great photos sent in & lo N behold, my photos were being Aired "LIVE" on KOBI5 News at Sunrise here in 0regon.

Both females, Kay Schaefer(Sunrise Meteorologist
KOBI-TV NBC 5 News) & Laura Cavanaugh(Anchor/Reporter/Producer at KOBI5) Really Liked my photos & I forgot who the other guys name is that was on the News, but he also gave me a compliment on TV about how my photos were a GREAT SHOT plus how the different color tones & shades had showed in my photos too.

Later on in the Morning at 8:17am I got this E-mail sent directly to my BlackBerry Phone & it was from Kay Schaefer who does the Weather & so as I was reading her E-mail, she said in her letter that she was gonna Pass my photos over to the Night Crew on account of how Great my Photos were.

Well much to my Surprise, what happened was that my photos literally ended up being Aired "LIVE" ALL DAY & thru the Night. Not only did KOBI5 News Air my photos but also Fox26 News aired them as well.
They even Mentioned my Name on every Segment that they Aired my photos on their Program from KOBI5 News & Fox26 News.
Talk about what an eventful day!

Oh, and plus check this out, along with my photos that I E-mailed over to KOBI5 News at Sunrise, I had told them that the photos were takin with my BlackBerry Curve 8330 (Cuz U know I had to give my BlackBerry Curve Propz as well). Yeah They even mentioned my BlackBerry on their program too. I was more excited about my BlackBerry Curve getting Propz than I was about myself. I mean, I was like.......YYEEEEEAAAAHH!!!! U GO BLACKBERRY CURVE, U GOOO!!!!

I also told all my of Family Members(Mom, Aunt, Cousins) about the Awsome News & even my BlackBerry Mesenger Friends too! (Thank You to ALL of my BlackBerry Messenger Friends who Complimented me, You're the Greatest in my Book Always!!!)

Plus I video tapped every News Segment on my BlackBerry Curve so that I would have something to remember.

I also sent a Thank You Note to Kay Schaefer who does the Weather since she Complimented me on my photos & passed my photos to the Night Crew but also the Afternoon & evening crew gott'em as well & I also sent a Thank You letter to Laura Cavanaugh too so yeah, I was pretty Popular all day.

On Thursday the 24th, I also received another E-mail on my BlackBerry Curve from Laura Cavanaugh & this really came as some Surprise! Laura Cavanaugh tells me in her E-mail that my photos were not only aired at KOBI5 News & Fox26 News, but that CNN Headline News Aired them as well!

That totally blew us both(Me & My BlackBerry Curve) away! Laura Cavanaugh also made me an 0fficial Member of the KOBI5 News at Sunrise & I gotta say, it Looks like Me & My BlackBerry Curve are gonna be doing great things together from here on end. WAY TO GO BLACKBERRY CURVE, WAY TO GO!!!
All the Best,

Hi Mike,(aka 1Kool Guy)

Thanks so much for sending in these photos, they were great! Not sure if
you caught it, but we were able to get them on air at the end of our morning
newscast. I am going to pass them on to the night crew just in case they
would want to use them as well.

Thanks again and have a great day!

Uh oh, a pin is how you send BB messenger chats to each other. And seeing that you just posted it in the forum for everybody to see, you could very well be getting a lot of messages in your BB messenger, and unless you're okay with that, I would suggest editing your post and taking it off

[1Kool guy]

Hi there balinsol14,
What does part of the Team mean?
Well basically its just what Laura Cavanaugh had mentioned in her E-mail to me. If you read her E-mail to me that I posted up, she basically said Whenever
news and weather breaks in your neck of the woods, please drop us a line.
Because at times not every Reporter can cover everything that happens just about anywhere. Its like someone saying to you, "Hey, go cover the Tornadoes in the state of Kansas and after you're done their go cover the Floods in Texas and after that go get us the Blackout story in New York. No reporter can cover that much in a short amount of time that they have so as a result, I just happen to be available in the area that I was in & happen to take some snapshots at the Thunderstorms that we had here in 0regon & then send'em off by E-mail via my Blackberry Curve & Lo N behold, my photos ended up being Aired "LIVE" Nationwide on the News. infact one could almost say that I happen to be at the right place at the right time. Also, I would like to encourage anyone who has a Blackberry phone to take some snapshots of anything that happens in you're area & send'em off to your Local News Channel. You just might be Surprised at the response that you get. I know I was pretty Shocked myself but hey, we gotta do something with our BlackBerries. Check it out & see. Then let us know the good News. Then you to can proudly say.........Can U do this with an iphone? I know I am. Lol

[1Kool guy]

Oh by the way,
Great comment there balinsol14 regarding the BlackBerry PIN Messenger. Awsome! :-)

[1Kool guy]

Haa! Haa! Haa! Way to go Bad Sherriff! I wasn't sure which photos you were referring to. Is there anyway that CB will alow us to post up Pics on here? I tried searching around. Also, is there a limit to how many Pics you can post?

Hi there Chrisy520!
