Another Smithsonian Winner, some upcoming appearances, and a new photo of Rockefeller center
(below content makes more sense when viewed here on the blog! -- www.stuckincustoms.com/2009/02/16/another-smithsonian-win... )
Why are my blog titles getting so long? Sorry about that... I guess with one post per day, sometimes there is a lot to squeeze in!
So, a few days ago I received a letter from the Smithsonian saying that I have another one in the running for the 6th Annual Photo Contest! Cool! Two years ago, I had 2 winners in the 4th Annual Photo Contest , and one of those ended up hanging in the Smithsonian castle in DC. I know a few of you out there got to see it on road trips - maybe we can make another pilgrimage this year!. I didn't win anything last year in the 5th annual contest... It was a bad year for me, what can I say?
The one that is in the finalist pool this year is the Times Square one that I have placed above. Just below that, I have placed a NEW photo of Rockefeller Center that I have been working on over the weekend. I hope you like it.
I will be speaking in Austin, Texas next week at the Digital Photography SIG on Thursday night, Feb 26 (next week). It's free to come - please do - I'd be happy to meet you in person! I'll be talking about photography and going through a tutorial. If you are in Central Texas, be sure to stop by -- it should be a good time!
Also, over the weekend, I was interviewed at the Pro Photography Show, which is a podcast that should be made available in the next few weeks. I will be sure to put a link to it here whenever it goes live.

the surreal side of HDR really works well on this and says to me something like: 30 rock is the choosen one

The Times Square image is an instant classic, Trey, and I wish you the best with it.

Good luck in the comps !

I always find that tall buildings are a real pain to compose. Though you have done a really good job on this one. I like the way the big banner says "Breathtaking" on it.
