I’m A Published Photographer, And NOT On WordPress!

The original photo submitted to BMW ON.

That’s right, I now have a photograph published in a monthly, international magazine!  Every month BMW Owner’s News, the monthly magazine for members of the BMW Motorcycle Owners of America (BMWMOA) has a section of member submitted photographs called “Picture This!”  BMWMOA announces on its website what the theme is and members can submit photos for possible publication in the magazine.  Most pictures try to merge motorcycling and the theme if at all possible.  About two or three months ago, the theme was announced as being “Campfire” and I submitted a picture taken at the BMW Motorcycle Owners of Georgia (BMWMOGA) campfire on the first night of the Georgia Mountain Rally from 2011.  The picture was taken with a 2.0 megapixel camera on an old HTC Ozone Windows Mobile smartphone of all things!  That’s right, a cell phone photo.  I took a chance and sent them the photo.  Today, the July 2012 issue of BMW ON arrived in the mail and there it was; my photograph!  The picture is on page 16 and is photograph and caption 12.  Not bad luck for a snapshot taken with a cell phone.
