Published Picture!
In Denmark
A couple of weeks ago, I received a very polite email from a Danish Graphic Designer. He wanted to use one of my pictures in an ad. Once I had recovered from the shock that someone with actual ability and talent would want one of my pictures, I happily sent him the relevant permission. Thanks, Creative Commons!
After a week or so, he kindly sent me a copy of the ad. The 1MB pdf is here.
My delight at getting published is only slightly tempered by the picture he chose. A shot of me screaming past a roadie? No. One of my many, many sunset pics? Nope. It's a picture of my bike in bits, with a puncture. The ad is for these people. They sell puncture-proof tyres. Looking back at the number of puncture-related entries in the archives, perhaps I should buy some.
