did i mention...?

[back alley]

...that a photo i submitted (locally) has been chosen for a book cover?

the local 'stroll of poets' organization had a small competition for 'artwork' to be used on/in their yearly anthology.

i didn't let the 'artwork' deter me and sent in a few shots.
they don't normally go for photos but this year they did.

i will receive a credit and a small honorarium.

kinda cool for the old guy...

Was it shot with a Canon?:)
