DAY EIGHTY SIX

I finally decided to go get my sensor cleaned since I had a coupon to get a free cleaning in Los Angeles.  I get to the store and present the coupon and the guy tells me, "Sorry that coupon is only good during the week.  Sorry it doesn't say that on the coupon.  You're the third person today to come in here with that coupon!"  So I'm thinking, "Oh great!"  But no worries, I love Los Angeles anyway so going down there is a treat in and of itself.

I knew I wanted to take my photo of the day in Los Angeles and I knew just where I wanted to go.  After seeing my Flickr friend Neil's photo of the Brain Institute in Las Vegas, I knew there was only one building that could go toe to toe with the Brain Institute as far as design - the Walt Disney Concert Hall!

My First Feature - Schmap!!

I have blogged about this before on another blog of a different theme but since this is my photography blog, I thought I'd share this story on this blog also. This was the first photo that I've ever taken that has been showcased outside of my Flickr gallery.

The Managing Editor of Schmap contacted me in March 2009 to feature one of my rose photographs from the Exposition Rose Garden in the sixth edition of Schmap Los Angeles Guide! I just realized that it was a year ago today that this photo was featured.

Schmap is a leading publisher of digital travel guides for 200 destinations throughout the United States, Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Here’s the link to my photo from the Exposition Park Rose Garden (photo is on the top right and credited with my name).

If you use an iPhone or iPod touch, then this same link will take you directly to my photo in the iPhone version of the guide. On a desktop computer, you can still see exactly how my photo is displayed and credited in the iPhone version of our guide at this link.

Finally, if you have a blog, you might also like to check out the customizable widgets of the Schmap Los Angeles Guide.
