Before I bust wide open! I was told today in an email that one of my photographs of a Creek in Sitka, Alaska has been chosen to be used in a National Advertisement by a company that I represent. :eek: :D :cool:
I can't go into much details right now because the product is a new product and the timing of the release is to be kept secret. :( The advertisement will be in all kinds of National Hunting Magazines and possibly on the TV. :) :cool:
I can give you a small sneak peek at the photography that will be used though.

Thank you everyone! I'm so excited I'm on Cloud 9 right now! :)

I did not intend to have this turn into a Political thread. :( I just wanted to share my wonderful news and maybe call your attention to the fact that 10% of the proceeds of the sale of these bows goes to The National Association for Down Syndrome (NADS). :) I sincerely hope that my photograph does a small part in securing some funds for such a wonderful Association!

It's a bow, what's the big deal? It doesn't even say in the ad that she has anything to do with it. Wouldn't matter to me if she did though.

Congrats Dick!

Mom27,
At the present time I do not have a connection with NADS, but that might just be changing. ;) NADS is a Wonderful Association that deserves all the help that they can get. Just maybe I can help them out a little bit by doing some photography work for them and also by spreading the word about their Organization. :)

God Bless all of those people that have a Downs Syndrome person in their lives!
