I just wanted to share some exciting news with my 365 friends: One of my pictures is going to be published in a calendar! I entered a contest about a month ago for a 2013 calendar and found out this morning that my submission was accepted. It's for a local company, so the distribution won't be that big, but hey, you gotta start somewhere, right? And the fifty bucks that comes with it won't hurt either.
Thanks to all of you for your continued inspiration.
Holy sh... Wow, I didn't expect this! You people made my day! Thank you all so much for your kind words of support. There's no doubt I wouldn't be entering my work into contests without the challenges and inspiration I've received from this community over the last ten months. I learn something here every day, I see images I want to try to emulate every day and I am seriously awed by your talent and support every day. Thank you.
@cindyrez I don't know, Cindy. They are supposed to deliver my prize money today, so I'll ask them which month I got when they get here. Based on the subject and our seasons, I'm guessing it'll be September or October. Can't wait to start calling myself Mr. September :)
@cmc1200 Thanks, Caryn. I'm pretty sure the calendar won't be for sale anywhere. It's the calendar this company gives away to their customers each year - kinda like the one you get from your insurance agent. I'm hoping they give me a few copies at least!
