YAY! I’ve done it! One of my photos has been published in a digital travel guide called Schmap. My photo has been featured on the marker for the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. Even though my picture is one of many on the Balloon Fiesta marker it is really cool that mine was selected. The picture of mine that got featured is the one of the turtle with his hat on backwards. Schmap is compatible with the iPhone and iPod Touch too so it is available on the go, online or on your computer. Go check it out! This is so exciting for me. Thanks to the people at Schmap for selecting my photo.

I was invited to submit my photos to a great website. If you live in Colorado, have ever lived in Colorado, or just came to visit and have great photos of your stay here, you should submit them to it too. It is called Capture My Colorado. It is being run by Colorado Mountain News Media and they are looking for the best photos of Colorado to be put in a full-color, hard-bound, coffee-table book and companion DVD. Each photo in the book will be voted in by visitors and contributors to the website, not by the people putting the book together. The photos with the most votes by September 26, 2008 will be in the book. (more…)

The weather was wonderful and as the opening ceremonies got underway we thought we might see lots of rain. Instead, we had a few sprinkles for about 10 minutes or so and lots of rainBOWS.  It was soooo cool.  Read (more…)
