    Oh man, what a bummer. Still, a trip to NYC is never wasted. I like the second shot. You really have a pronounced style, damonff.

    Oh no.. I would have probably stood there and cried.. maybe stormed in and demanding where it was.. or maybe called Andy to "fix" it.. maybe it's up now?
    I'm going to find a web cam..

    Bummer Damon..:cry :(: gerg.gif

    Yeah Gubbs, I made a special trip...not that big of a deal as I'm only a 3 and 1/2 hour drive from there. I also got to practice my Mandarin in Chinatown...that was fun. I'm still understood so I haven't lost my tone marks...Lynn, I checked the webcam after I got home last night and it still wasn't up and I checked this morning and the new POTD wasn't up yet either. I guess there was a weekend glitch and no one knew about it...strange...

    One of the editors wrote me back and said there was a glitch in the matrix...just kidding. There was some construction that affected their board and their equipment couldn't reboot. She graciously offered to run the photo again on any day that I ask. I asked for 12/31. I hope she says yes!

    contacted kodak for you damon ...
    i spoke with kodak for you damon ... this is what they said:

    Hi Andy,

    Whoas-me... the Marriott was doing some construction which
    caused a power outage to the jumbletron.

    Our vendor is working to get the equipment up-and-running,
    which hopefully is just a replacement and then reboot of several
    of the modules.

    I feel awful that Damon drove to NY yesterday to see his picture
    -- only to not see it :-(((

    I am going to see if he is willing to drive in again. If so, I will
    re-run
    his picture -- just for him.

    Thanks!

    --M
    Andy

    Damon,
    The second photo.... please tell me how you did the B/W! this picture has such impact, just WOW! I love this kind of shots, you practice your art at such a high level, you're making me jealous here mwink.gif

    Thanks for sharing, and good luck next time, sorry to see that it 'didn't happen'... An extra day NYC might not hurt either mwink.gif

    Your B&W shot is really nice... what do you do to the photo to get this effect?

    Yvette and Michiel
    Thanks for the compliment on the b/w. It's a technique I use a lot. Here's what I do:

    Adjust the colour in levels...
    Adjust the color in curves, usually making it a little extra dramatic...
    Change to lab colour...
    Pick the lightness channel...
    Change photo to grayscale...
    Create a new layer...
    Drop down menu in new layer, choose vivid...

    That's it. Try it!
