I can't provide too many details at this point, but I'll have the cover shot for the April 16 edition of Newsweek! I got a call the other day from one of their photo people regarding the use of one of my shots, and we came to terms on a price.
Once I get the check, I can't decide whether I'll be paying off the car, or if we should just go on a few really nice vacations :) |

Heh. Good point. But according to Alan's bio, he's in the news business and has had other shots published.
So I'll go ahead and say congrats, Alan! :)

| All right. Everyone has said their congratulations, and I'll add mine to the bunch. But I am also going to ask the question that the others haven't yet, but are probably all wondering. How did you come in contact with Newsweek about your photo? I saw you had a Chevrolet ad photo as well. How did you come in contact with that? Do you advertise your photos somewhere? Did someone from Chevy/Newsweek just happen upon your photo? How do you do it? I'm sure we are all wondering as it is a very big deal. If you have the time, please respond. |

WHAT?!?!?!? I order a year's subscription to Newsweek just to not miss that issue. Someone owes me $25 for that and $50,000 for the pain and suffering this has caused.
