Aidan is almost 7 months old, so I brought him down to the makeshift studio for some pictures.

In today’s issue of The Town News (covering River Edge, Oradell, and Paramus), a photo that I took of a power line fire was published.  This is my first published work!  No money was received for the shot, but I am just glad it made it in. 

You can check out all the photos from this event on flickr:

Several weeks ago, I received an e-mail from an online travel guide Schmap regarding one of my photos on Flickr.  They wanted to use a picture that I took from our honeymoon of Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia.  I was notified that I was a finalist for their guide and that I would here back in a few weeks.  Well about a week ago, I heard back and my photo has been published!!

You can see the picture here:

I don’t get any compensation for this (which is fine by me), but they put my name on their site.

Full details are below.
