Like Herschell, I also have a photo appearing in Schmap. A couple of weeks ago I received an e-mail via Flickr from the people at Schmap saying that they were considering one of my photos for use in their travel guide for Chicago, specifically for Water Tower Place. I completed the submission form, and today I found out that my photo was chosen (I actually received the e-mail just a couple days after submitting my photo, but I don’t usually check my Flickr mail).
One of the funny things is my caption for the photo, which reads, "Water Tower Place looks kind of like Woodfield, but without any of the useful stores." My photo appears in the Chicago Stores & Arcades section, and it’s supposed to help promote Water Tower Place. I’m not changing my caption, mostly because of the irony of the situation. I just wish I would have adjusted the color of the photo to remove the yellow hue from the sodium lights. Oh well, you can’t win them all.
Can I get your autograph
Lucky you. I post alot of photos from my travels etc on Flickr - I’m into landscape photography in particular, but I have not had anyone ask to publish any of my shots. I didn’t realise publishers found photos this way.
