Before I bust wide open! I was told today in an email that one of my photographs of a Creek in Sitka, Alaska has been chosen to be used in a National Advertisement by a company that I represent. :eek: :D :cool:
I can't go into much details right now because the product is a new product and the timing of the release is to be kept secret. :( The advertisement will be in all kinds of National Hunting Magazines and possibly on the TV. :) :cool:
I can give you a small sneak peek at the photography that will be used though.

If anything can give you the photography bug that has to be on top of the list !!!
Nice Job !!!
Cool picture too !!

Thanks robodad! :)
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever expect to have something like this happen to me! :)
Back in my 35mm. SLR days I had quite a few photos win Local, State, Regional and National Competitions and I was extremely excited; but this tops that off hands down!
I won't get any money for the photo use, but they will be putting my name on the photos and also Crediting me for the photo. Plus I will get a bunch of Free Products. :) Just the Recognition for me is enough, as far as I am concerned. :)

Nothing like being able to say "Published Photographer" great job cant wait to see it in print for you.
I am like you i have no idea the number of pictures I have sent off and always been denied, I always want to give up but my family and friends keep me going.

Great job man. I know of a snobby website for photographers that get pissed at guys like you and me. They say we are ruining their industry by de-valuing the market...lol. I figure anytime I'm pissing off the right people then I'm doing something right. Nice picture.

Thanks Guys! :) I can hardly wait to see the Finished Advertising Product! :) All I have seen so far is a "heads up" Layout and it is awesome, even though it isn't the final product. :)
Shawn, Your compliment is very much appreciated! I love to look at the Gorgeous photos that you post!
There is one website that I have posted photos to that I never get any compliments on; all I get is "You did this wrong....." etc. Lately I go there just to look at the photos posted and I try to learn from them. I don't bother to read the comments on that page.
