Me and Schmap... we're tight
Another snipet to add to "My (supposed) Fifteen Minutes of Fame"...
Today, I received this e-mail through my photo account at Flickr.com...
Hi Smiles for the Sun,
I am writing to let you know that one of your photos has been short-listed for inclusion in the fourth edition of our Schmap Seattle Guide, to be published mid-December 2007.
(original link deleted by me... but here's schmap's website)
Clicking this link will take you to a page where you can:
i) See which of your photos has been short-listed.
ii) Submit or withdraw your photo from our final selection phase.
iii) Learn how we credit photos in our Schmap Guides.

While we offer no payment for publication, many photographers are pleased to submit their photos, as Schmap Guides give their work recognition and wide exposure, and are free of charge to readers. Photos are published at a maximum width of 150 pixels, are clearly attributed, and link to high-resolution originals at Flickr.
Our submission deadline is Sunday, December 9. If you happen to be reading this message after this date, please still click on the link above (our Schmap Guides are updated frequently - photos submitted after this deadline will be considered for later releases).
Best regards,

So, here's the picture they short-listed.

It IS a pretty cool picture. I actually used it as my screen saver for a while. I think, though, that I have at least one better Seattle Aquarium picture that they could have used. Like maybe this one...

I have some pretty awesome Seattle pictures in my Flickr photostream. You should check them out if you're bored and don't live in Seattle and see these gorgeous scenes every day.
In other Flickr-related tidbits... check out this video from my (and everybody on Flickr's) favorite little Flickr punk-rock-star-child, Bunny.

Well, they're almost all favorites! Bunny is such a beautiful child, and her mom is an awesome photographer. ;P
