[Leica] RE: LUG Digest, Vol 35, Issue 337

Bob,

I have had a few royalty checks in the past year.  I'm really enjoying
the silent auction/charity work a lot.  I frequently get an assignment
which gives me some discipline and forces me to get out there and
photograph.  Right now it's a good tax deduction :)  

I am particularly counting my blessings today because 3 years ago I was
having breathing issues and decided to go to the doctor to see if was
allergies...well...he got an alarmed look on his face when my blood
pressure was 205/160 and pulse was 160...and called an ambulance gave me
one phone call.  Thank goodness for a great cardiologist in Houston who
figured it out and kept me around.

Sanjay:

Lovely shot.

Nothing like being published, whether you get paid or not.

Keep on truckin' and show us some more as they "go public'.

Royalty checks can happen!

I got exciting news today. The B&W version of this picture:

Was chosen by the Town Lake Trail Foundation for their annual Calendar.

The foundation supports the Town Lake (now Lady Bird Johnson) trail
around downtown Austin by doing projects that improve the trail. The
foundation prints several thousand calendars at very high quality and
sells the for $20 each. I'm truly enjoying getting assignments from
various charities around town and it is a thrill for a rank amateur to
get work published. Next week's assignment is "White" for a party for
Lifeworks with the theme of White (everyone wears White)....hmm....that
one is going to be interesting to pull off.
