Members UstadKhanAli Posted July 19, 2010 Members Share Posted July 19, 2010 So I was a little stunned when I woke up this morning, checked my email, and found out that one of my photos had been chosen by Smithsonian for the Editor's Pick of the Week!!! Wow. Probably more stunned than usual because I came really damn close to mistakenly deleting the email!! http://www.smithsonianmag.com/multimedia/editors-picks/?c=y&date=07/19/2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members UstadKhanAli Posted July 20, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 20, 2010 I'm off work during the summer. Most of the time, I'm extremely busy running around. But last week, I had some extra time to upload things to websites, contests, etc., and it's already paying off. I rarely have time to do this normally. It really makes me wonder what would happen if I devoted a day or two to this per month (and I don't even know if that's possible). Anyway, thank you very much for your warm thoughts, encouragement, and everything. I really appreciate it, and I'm really glad that you like the photo. That's a really cool, special place for me, and I'm happy that the photo came out well enough that we can all enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members UstadKhanAli Posted July 20, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 20, 2010 I just show his pictures and tell people I took them! That's clearly the better route to take! This conversation could go something like this: "Oh, I didn't know you were in _________." "Oh, yeah....know it like the back of my hand. Just went there last week. Had to teach a few National Geographic photographers some pointers, that kind of thing. Yeah. Anyway, let's make some dinner plans, shall we?"

The idea is to share the places I've gone, share the photos, and share in the cool milestones along the way when someone like the Smithsonian makes some sort of acknowledgment. Thanks! Now, we need to talk about that swimsuit model photography shoot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
