I subscribed to NGM recently so hopefully my first issue is November. That'd be exciting for me to just know someone who's published in there. Can't even imagine what you're feeling right now.

[color="navy"]Historically, the really great and famous masters of an art form are very rarely wealthy during their lifetimes! V. van Gogh comes to mind! So, lend me your ear(s). 'tis the case for signing your art and making limited, numbered editions. Then, at least there will be hope of fame and fortune for your heirs[/color].

Thanks Bhasmang, Kiwi and Linda.

I've just had an email confirming that my shot will be in the November issue of NGM - I'm flabbergasted.

Dear Glyn:
I am a researcher confirming information about your photograph of a snail to run in the Your Shot section in the November issue of National Geographic Magazine. Margaret Zackowitz, editor of the Your Shot page has already contacted you, but I would like to confirm with you the following quotation attributed to you: "Snails rarely look dynamic." If you would please confirm this information as soon as possible, I would be very grateful as we are on deadline. Thank you so much. Mary

Thanks Ron and Susan. NG eh? (To the tune New York New York) If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere, because of you DA, DA.

I never knew that you were so close Ron - interesting. Theres another guy who recently joined DA, Ian Clowes, whose had quite a few wins already with some quality shots, he lives near Chester. I'm thinking that we could maybe get together sometime and all indulge our hobby at different locations and split the costs. Might be a lot of fun with some top awards to boot, and I'd be really interested in seeing how each others individual shots of the same location differed - we could all learn a great deal.

ScottyZoozie — Sat, 08 Sep 2007 07:25:57 GMT

Update: I had a message from NG this morning

Dear Glynn:

I am the editor for National Geographicâ€™s Your Shot page. I am happy to
tell you that your photo of a snail has been chosen as one of several
potential finalists. Could you please tell me a little more about your
picture, and about yourself? That way I can tell you if youâ€™re going to be
in the magazine.

1. Where was this photo taken? Do you know what the snail was doing? (I
know nothing about snails!)
2. Where do you live, how old are you, and what do you do when you are not
photographing?
3. How long have you been interested in photography?

We are on a tight deadline, so I hope to hear from you as soon as possible.
Thanks very much!

Sincerely,

Margaret Zackowitz
