Well, "published" is a strong word...
All I meant to say is:
I was recently offered a "stringer" position in a local "giveaway" newspaper (after I bugged them with my shots for a couple of months), accepted it, got my first assignment last Friday, and today - readers, rejoice! - one picture of mine finally appeared - in b/w mode on page 13... :rofl
Anyway - I'm happy! :barb I got my first "tearsheet"! :ivar

The assignment was to shoot the festivities at the Tree Lighting Ceremony at the Promenade Plaza.
The color version of this picture looks like this:

On a totally different subject: I got a permission from my company owner to hang few of my pictures in the hallway (next to my office). I printed them recently 10"x15" (inches, my euro-firends, not cm:-) and mounted in the "floating" 16"x20" frames which I got on sale for about ~$10 apiece in a local Jo-Ann's Fabrics (kinda craft store chain) almost a year ago:-)

Before:

After:

All in all - have a great Turkey Day, y'all!:lust

    Thank you sir!

    I have few of the prior pics hanged inside my office, but those 6 didn't fit mwink.gif

    And that empty wall just asked for some color:-)

    Oh, the "Before" shot was only for the empty wall demonstration. The pictures were set on the floor as they were transported from the car, and spread along to get an idea of the distance.

    Your office gallery looks very elegant. Can you please explain what you mean by 'floating' frames?

    Thank you!

    By "floating" I mean the type of frames that are made from two sheets of some transparent material (plastic or, in my case, glass) that a held together by a (non-trasparent) frame border (wood in my case).
    When you put a picture inside such a frame it appears to be floating in the mid air. You can see the effect (to a degree:-) in my "after" shot.

    HTH

    Have a great gobble-gobble day! 1drink.gif

    Thank you very much, appreciate it!
    For the longest time that wal had some outdated marketing posters, and then it became empty, so I've figured it would be nice to hang my work somewhere where not only me can see it:-)...
