OMIGOD! 1 in 100,000 - I Made Parade!

[gpgold]

I have to share with this forum the stunning news I received today. My photo was selected out of over 100,000 entries for Parade Magazines Snapshot Feature. It will be in the May 29 issue as well as being in their on-line gallery that week. Well, I guess I just lost my amateur standing, LOL. Anyway, I am guessing that most of the great photographers on this forum were not in this competition or I would not have had a chance.

regards,

Gary

Congratulations!
Nir, thanks very much for your comment. It was one of those shots where when I uploaded it to the computer I thought "Wow did I do that?" But, the funny part is that I was on the way to my car and had already packed up the camera. I have come to realize that being a photographer occurs in the moment we say - " Look at that, I better get the camera out again!"

Gary

Thanks for the congrats - this is a real fun moment. BTW - it was a young woman in my ofice who brought in a ripped out sheet from Parade with the snapshot info on it and "you should send something in." /////glad I listened.

Gary

The photo is really good. It's no wonder it was picked for a cover.

Not a cover, inside the issue there is a feature called "Snapshot" this is what the submissions were for. They put the shot there and for the following week it will be in their on-line gallery.

and told Ed "that photographer is a member of dgrin!"

It didn't reproduce too well, that's newsprint for you though. The line screen they use isn't very fine (web offset) and I noticed the poppies got very blotchy, but, it's still a great photo and so perfectly captures the scene!

I'm hoping the painter will see himself and contact you looking for a "real" print.

Even after all this drama you've shared with us, I went off to NY without any model releases! :-(

It's a great photo! Let us know if you receive any "business" from being published. Do readers have a way of getting in touch with you through Parade?

Again, congratulations! I hope you get Parade, or have your own copy.
