Hip Hip Hooray and Happy Birthday!
Today is my father's birthday and I got the best present to give him....GOOD NEWS! Yes, hearing my good news is a fabulous present for my daddy, though I did get him something else as well as cake. :-)
Remember I mentioned I might get photos in a major magazine?
Three of my self-portraits are going to be featured with an article on female body image in Fitness Magazine and one of those will also be on their website!!!!
I'm SO happy about this exposure and not only that, I'm getting PAID! The photo editor contacted me through Flickr after just coming across my photos a while ago and asked me to call her. I did and we had a great conversation and she asked that I send her my 365 book along with as many images as I was willing on a CD, lo-res. That they would pay me just for doing that!! I did, and then she requested hi-res of three images. I tried not to get my hopes up because having worked in publishing before, I know things can get the ax at any time.
Well she finally gave me the final word...two main images, one full page and one a quarter page, plus a 'spot' image! These are them:
Full Page:
1/4 Page:
Spot:
I'm so freaking excited!!! She said the thing is already at the presses!! :-) I guess the issue comes out in a few weeks, even though it is for 'May'. I cannot wait to see this thing!!
Fantastic news Sarah, I expect that this is just the beginning of a new chapter for you.
