Willing to train the right applicant.

May I make a suggestion? If you apply for the job, please avoid the spelling and grammatical errors that were in your post. Those will get your resume tossed immediately. Just a tip....

Fair enough. Please submit a resume and I'll be happy to consider it. If you have a writing sample you think illustrates your skill and experience, feel free to include it. And since you seem to have photo experience, throw in a few pics as well. Good luck.
