I Are Special

I am all excited. A photo I took at the San Antonio Botanical Garden has been published in something called a "Schmap," which, as best I can tell, is an iPhone-based electronic guidebook for various cities. This is what my picture will look like on an iPhone (do I even know anyone who has an iPhone?).
I am not sure why they wanted to use it. It's not a terribly exciting picture. It's not particularly representative of the SABG. I just took it because I liked that plant, and I thought I might want to use it in landscaping someday, and this way I could go to a nursery and show someone the photo and say, "Sell me some of THIS." I certainly wasn't expecting anyone else to see the picture. But now I am able to say, in a properly pretentious tone, that I am a Published Photographer.
We'll see how long that fun lasts.

  1. Well, how finorkin' cool is THAT? (I'm not sure what it means - will that be on every iPhone in the world? Or just....like, if they look up the Botanical Gardens? Either way, save me an autograph, O Famous Photographer Person!

  4. They found it on my flickr page and asked if they could use it... sure, why not? It's just a picture of a plant. It's hardly my blood, sweat, and tears - I left all those at John Deere...
