I'm gonna have two post-blizzard shots in Baltimore Magazine!

I'm not gonna hide the fact that this is complete brag thread, but I'm so excited I just have to tell people...

I took a bunch of pictures after 2 blizzards hit the Baltimore area in February of this year and have had them on flickr ever since. I got an email from someone at Baltimore Magazine asking if they could use one of my pictures for a story on the blizzards. I was excited, but disappointed because they picked one that I don't really like (or, at least, it's not even close to my favorite).

Here's the one they picked:

Congrats! I'm glad something good can come out of that crappy winter we had this year!

Congrats!

Nice! And I thought we had it bad with snow this year...

Well, in my part of England a few inches is considered bad!

Congratulations! That's always fun to see your stuff in print---when its done legally. I like the first picture better myself for some reason.

I don't think it's a bad picture or anything, I just wish they chose one of my post-apocalyptic HDR pics, like this one:

AAAhhh--very good indeed!

Congrats!

thanks to all for the kind words, can't wait to have the magazine in my hands!

Here's a low-res pic of the table of contents page!

Congrats. Nice captures, I especially like the HDR also.

Yeah I really wish I could've suggested some alternatives to them, haha.

Those are great, congrats!

If you don't mind me asking a slightly off-topic question, is there anything special you do with your pics so that people scouring the web will find them on flickr? The way they are named perhaps? Just wondering, feel free to ignore me and keep bragging on your two-for-one magazine excitement!

Congrats!!

I add my pictures to tons of groups and also tag them in a very detailed manner. I think naming the picture appropriately and having even just a short one sentence description also helps.

If you have a pro account, you can see where the hits are coming from. I get a pretty decent amount of search engine hits (maybe 25/week). It'll also tell you what people searched for on flickr to find your photo.
