So there I was, thumbing through the new Photographer's Edge catalog...which, by the way, I almost pitched into the trash when it came but decided to browse....and I spied a picture of Mt. Rainier that was used as an example on one of their quotation cards that you can order with your pic on it.
I even said out loud, 'Wow! That looks so much like the picture I took!' Then I noticed the credit underneath and my eyes bugged out. I completely forgot that I submitted this picture to the catalog in the hopes that they might print it. It was months ago.
The day after I got the catalog, I received a letter from them telling me that my picture had been selected and they gave me a $25 gift certificate to their catalog! So I got that going for me....which is nice.
Wow! That is awesome...and so is the photo, obviously!
ReplyDeleteThanks Andrea! It was a happy surprise. Thank goodness I didn't throw out the catalog!!!!!!!
DeleteStunning photo! They have good taste! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Carolyn!
DeleteI've always thought you have a wonderful eye, I enjoy your photographs very much. I'm not surprised that your picture was selected, it's a really nice one. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThank you Liz. In the case of Rainier, it was Mother Nature doing all the work. All I did was break a bunch of traffic laws to get my camera and shoot it!
DeleteWhat a great surprise, JoJo! Congrats! You now have a photo published in a print item (catalog, mag, etc) You do know that the pic is awesome and getting a clear shot with those clouds was perfect timing!! Keep it up. . .what traffic laws did you break, btw?
ReplyDeleteThank you!! I was going at least 65-70 on a local road with a speed limit of 50. I rolled through stop signs and red lights if I could, floored it on the highway and weaved in and out of traffic.
DeleteHey, a good photo shot waits for no one - you did what you had to do, but those traffic violations aren't biggies if no one was hurt. . .
DeleteThanks!
DeleteWay to go JoJo, I have always thought that was a fabulous picture. I thought you were going to say they didn`t acknowledge it`s ownership. I am so glad they did.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo!!! It's always nice to see my name in print when it's not in the police report. lol I kid, I kid.
DeleteHi human, JoJo,
ReplyDeleteHope you're sitting comfortably! I've finally arrived at your pawesome site during a time while I'm still trying to sort out my human, Gary.
Anyway, look at you, JoJo! What a fantastic surprise and so totally deserved for your amazing photo.
Pawsitive wishes, your way,
Penny!
Penny!!!!! Thank you so much!
Deleteok. first of all that is seriously, ridiculously cool. CONGRATS! and second of all ... I love that film ... you got that going for you, which is nice
ReplyDeleteThank you! And I was hoping that someone would recognize that movie quote. lol Did you read it in Groundskeeper Carl's voice? hahahaha "Big hitter the Lama"
Deletesuch a good news Jojo! Very happy for you. You deserved it - the picture is stunning indeed!Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!!!
DeleteIt is a fantastic photo. I think I told you before that when I looked through a book about clouds, the picture of lenticular clouds was nothing like as good as yours.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Val!
