This is my first picture i have had published and I'm absolutely oven the moon, really, no pun intended.
I can't even begin to explain how happy this has made me, I'm a total amateur, I'm not a professional photographer, i just like to get out there and take some pictures purely as a hobby when I have a spare 5 minutes, i only just bought my first DSLR 2 months before taking this picture on it.
I was paid for the picture, but the money actually means very little, what I'm really ecstatic about is the fact i now have a free copy of a magazine that has one of my pictures in it, money can't buy that.
3 years taking pictures when i could as a hobby and now i have a picture Published, need a say more ? I'm just so happy.
I don't necessarily agree with black & white photos and especially not night photos, but they paid for it, so the can use it how they like.
The original picture is here.

I love long exposures, everything to do with night time, the dark, sunrise and sunset.
I like to take pictures mainly at night , sometimes during the day and in dull and fading light and I will sometimes display the time and date the picture was taken too.
I tend to take pictures of Light trails, Motorway traffic, Street lights, Buildings, Landscapes, Bokeh, Night bokeh and Hexagonal Night Bokeh in and around the North East of England.
All of my pictures are 100% natural and untouched in every way without ever been Photo shopped or altered or messed about with in anyway whatsoever, No multi layered photography, No HDR's and No image manipulation of any kind, all of my pictures look just the way they did when I saw them at the time of taking and I'm VERY PROUD of that.
I don't do any photo processing at all, I don't even own any photo software.
All of my starbursts are all 100% natural without using any filters or anything else, as is all my bokeh, night bokeh and hexagonal night bokeh, its all natural, no funny gimmicks at all.
I don't do anything with my pictures apart from take them and then upload them , 99.99999% of my pictures don't even get cropped , they are all 100% natural and untouched and then uploaded.

(the published photos are in comments) All right, I'm not afraid to promote myself occasionally, and I've got to finally mention this because it's almost your last chance to easily find this issue on the stands or in stores...
This is the Chicago Reader's 1000 Words, Second Annual Photo Issue, which featured a reader contest. I picked it up and saw I had one in the issue...and it was on the table of contents page too. Then I kept looking, and there were more photos of mine...5 in all! It's kind of embarrassing that of the 22 photos, 5 are mine (no one else had more than 3)...when so many great photographers didn't get in there. Also, I never even officially entered the contest; they just picked photos I'd submitted to the Chicago Reader Flickr group. And I'm not even shooting with a "real" camera...and so on.
But I work hard on my photography (I even landed in the hospital due to it last year, though that's more about recklessness than dedication, perhaps) and I'm glad it's been recognized (plus, uh, this makes up for the fact that they've never published any of my shots in the Reader before, just online). This wasn't the first time I got a photo in print in 2008...I'll belatedly have a post about the other one soon....I meant to say something much sooner but New Year's, a family visit, and a Detroit trip intervened...
Many thanks to the Reader* and to all of you who've supported my work! If you can't get an actual copy, it's here (online has 24 photos, not 22)

*In the summer, the editors named me "Best Local Blog 2008" (a tie) and I again feel guilty I've posted so little there recently; I'm working on a sort of relaunch/lots of new content, once again, life has gotten in the way of my posting there...the photo related to that news:
My Retro Xylophone photo is featured in the current November issue of MAX magazine, published in Germany. It's part of their Flickr Portfolio feature.

The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale that was published by Editions d'Art Patras of Paris. The card has a divided back.
Michael Patras
Michael Patras, of 21, Rue du Chercho-midi, Paris, was a photographer of Parisian scenes who was active between 1932 and 1940.
He published many of his images as postcards, specialising in deep colour heliotype cards which were printed in France.
Le Château de Malmaison
The Château de Malmaison (not 'de la') is a French château near the western bank of the Seine about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) west of the centre of Paris in Rueil-Malmaison.
Formerly the residence of Empress Joséphine de Beauharnais, along with the Tuileries it was the headquarters of the French government from 1800 to 1802, and Napoleon's last residence in France at the end of the Hundred Days in 1815.
History of the Château
Joséphine de Beauharnais bought the manor house in April 1799 for herself and her husband, General Napoleon Bonaparte, the future Napoléon I of France, at that time away fighting the Egyptian Campaign.
Malmaison was a run-down estate that encompassed nearly 150 acres (0.61 km2) of woods and meadows.
Upon his return, Bonaparte expressed fury at Joséphine for purchasing such an expensive house with the money she had expected him to bring back from the Egyptian campaign.
The house, for which she had paid well over 300,000 francs, needed extensive renovations; she had spent a fortune doing so.
The Garden at Malmaison
Joséphine endeavoured to transform the large estate into:
"The most beautiful and curious garden
in Europe, a model of good cultivation".
She located rare and exotic plants and animals to enhance the gardens. Joséphine wrote:
"I wish that Malmaison may soon become
the source of riches for all of France"
In 1800, Joséphine built a heated orangery large enough for 300 pineapple plants. Five years later, she ordered the building of a greenhouse, heated by a dozen coal-burning stoves. From 1803 until her death in 1814, Josephine cultivated nearly 200 new plants in France for the first time.
The property achieved enduring fame for its rose garden. Empress Joséphine had the Belgian artist Pierre-Joseph Redouté (1759–1840) record her roses (and lilies), and prints of these works sell well to this day.
Joséphine created an extensive collection of roses, gathering plants from her native Martinique and from other places around the world. She grew some 250 varieties of roses. From the foreword to Jardin de la Malmaison (1803):
"You have gathered around you the
rarest plants growing on French soil.
As we inspect them in the beautiful
gardens of Malmaison, an impressive
reminder of the conquests of your
illustrious husband".
Birds and animals of all sorts began to enrich her garden, where they were allowed to roam free among the grounds. At the height of her days at Malmaison, Joséphine had the company of kangaroos, emus, black swans, zebras, sheep, gazelles, ostriches, chamois, a seal, antelopes and llamas to name but a few. Some were from the Baudin expedition.
Divorce
After her divorce from Napoleon, Joséphine received Malmaison in her own right, along with a pension of 5 million francs a year. She remained there until her death in 1814.
Napoleon's Return to the Château
Napoleon returned and took residence in the house after his defeat at the Battle of Waterloo (1815), before his exile to the island of Saint Helena.
After Josephine's death in 1814, the house was vacant at times, leading to the garden and house being ransacked and vandalised. The garden's remains were destroyed in a battle in 1870.
Maria Christina
In 1842, Malmaison was purchased by Queen mother Maria Christina, widow of King Ferdinand VII of Spain. She lived there with her second husband Agustín Fernando Muñoz, Duke of Riánsares (made a duke by his step-daughter, Isabella II of Spain, in 1844).
Napoleon III
In 1861, Maria Christina sold the property to Napoleon III, Josephine's grandson through her daughter Hortense.
Restoration of the Château
Malmaison was fully restored by the famous French architect Pierre Humbert in the early 20th. century, and is now considered an important historical monument.

My photo of Minne the Lake Creature was published in the April '12 issue of Mpls.St.Paul Magazine after it was found on flickr.
"SHE'S BAAACK!
→ Like those neighbors you haven't seen all winter, Minne the Lake Creature reappears each spring to jazz up our lives. There's no telling where she'll pop up. She likes all the Minneapolis lakes. If you do see her, don't ask if she wintered in Florida (not that there's anything wrong with that!). Minne takes pride in being a hardy Minnesota gal who likes to stay close to home."
Full disclosure: The photo was meant to highlight the return of the floating sculpture to the Chain of Lakes, but the photo was actually taken last fall.

Uno straordinario concerto gratuito sotto le stelle de la Filarmonica della Scala, sotto la direzione di Riccardo Chailly, che vede come protagonista David Garrett.
Due milioni e mezzo di dischi venduti, una vera superstar del violino. La portata del successo di David Garrett è dovuta alla sua abilità di interpretare musiche che spaziano dai generi più diversi, da Vivaldi agli Aerosmith, da Beethoven ai Metallica.
Il concerto speciale in Duomo è all'insegna della musica classica: in scaletta l'ouverture del Guglielmo Tell di Rossini e I Vespri Siciliani di Verdi, e sinfonie di Paganini e Brahms.
David Garrett, nome d'arte di David Bongartz, è un violinista e compositore tedesco-statunitense. Particolarmente apprezzato come musicista da Zubin Mehta e Daniel Barenboim, suona un violino Stradivari e un Guadagnini.
Si è fatto conoscere dalla critica per il suo repertorio di musica rock adattato all'orchestra e, in particolare, al violino, che tende nelle sue cover a sostituire le chitarre di artisti quali Brian May, Angus Young, Slash, Kirk Hammett, Jimmy Page o Kurt Cobain, ma anche le voci, come quelle di Axl Rose o Michael Jackson. In modo analogo, accompagnato da chitarre e batterie, ha portato celeberrimi brani classici a tonalità più rock.
Riccardo Chailly, milanese, ha studiato presso i Conservatori di Perugia, Roma e Milano, perfezionandosi in seguito nei corsi estivi di Siena con Franco Ferrara. Dal 1982 al 1989 è stato Direttore Musicale della Rundfunk - Sinfonieorchester di Berlino e dal 1983 al 1989 Direttore Principale Ospite della London Philharmonic Orchestra.
Claudio Abbado fonda la Filarmonica della Scala insieme ai musicisti scaligeri nel 1982 con l’obiettivo di sviluppare il repertorio sinfonico nel contesto della tradizione operistica del Teatro. L’anno seguente la Filarmonica si costituisce in associazione indipendente. Dal 2006 si intensifica la collaborazione con il Direttore Musicale del Teatro alla Scala Daniel Barenboim e con Riccardo Chailly, Daniel Harding, Daniele Gatti e Valery Gergiev.
Joseph Pitton de Tournefort (1656-1708) was a French botanist. He was born to a well-to-do family in Aix-en-Provence. Tournefort initially took up studies in theology. However, as he had a marked inclination towards natural sciences, he turned to medicine. He completed his studies at the University of Montpellier. In 1681, he was in Barcelona doing research in botany. In 1694 Tournefort published his first three-volume work, in which he classified 8846 plants. In 1698 he became Doctor in Medicine of the University of Paris. At that time his treatise was also translated into Latin. Tournefort became a famous physician and naturalist. He travelled extensively in Western Europe (Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, England). He had published a number of works on botany, and had acquired a fabulous collection of nearly 50.000 books, as well as costumes, arms, minerals, shells and various curiosities. Thus, he already had a very important career behind him when Louis XIV entrusted him with the mission to bring new plants to the Royal Botanical Garden.
Tournefort started out on his voyage to the Near East in the spring of 1700, at the age of 44, accompanied by a painter and a doctor. He visited thirty-eight islands of the Greek archipelago, as well as Northern Anatolia, Pontus and Armenia, and reached Tiflis in Georgia. Tournefort returned to Marseilles in June 1702.
His manuscript, composed of his letters to the Minister of the Exterior Count de Pontchartain, was published posthumously in 1717. A number of re-editions followed, while his work was also translated into English, German and Flemish. There is also a Greek translation of the first part. The fact that Tournefort had discovered new plants in his journey led him to publish a supplement to his main work of botanical classification in 1703. He taught Botany in the Académie, while continuing to practice medicine; at the same time, he was in charge of the Royal Gardens, where many plants he brought from his travels were cultivated with success. Having survived a multitude of adventures, Tournefort died of an accident in 1708. He did not live to see the publication of his travel chronicle, which in the following three centuries became the basic manual to all travellers to these regions. Until today, researchers from numerous fields turn to Tournefort’s text, as it remains an invaluable source of information. He describes the places he visited in a particular systematic manner.
The systematic way he organizes his information on topography, economy, administration, ethnic composition, customs and habits of everyday life shows how one can arrive at truth and knowledge through research, methodical study, classification and generalisation. To document his research, Tournefort cites a hundred and thirty-five texts by Greek and Latin authors as well as Byzantine writers, Humanists, and earlier travel accounts.
He methodically narrates his visit to each island, and describes the locations as well as events that he witnessed and encounters with locals. He then continues with the island’s history from ancient times to the current age, citing the corresponding myths, and comparing with the information provided by ancient coins. Subsequently, he writes on the island’s administration and taxes, commerce, products and prices thereof. An entire chapter is dedicated to the Greek church. Tournefort also writes on monasteries and churches, house architecture and caves. He also describes the customs, the dress and the occupations of the inhabitants. He concludes his chapters with geographical observations from the highest point of each main region.
Naturally, his work includes engravings of city views, locations and monuments as well as plants, instruments and costumes. The text becomes alive with vivid descriptions of his encounters with islanders, be it Turks, Franks, Greeks or privateers. Of special interest are his descriptions of fortresses, ports, safe havens and his information on map drawing.
The second volume is a publication of his thoroughly documented manuscripts. It was not edited by Tournefort himself as had happened with the first. On numerous occasions he refers to the politics, administration and ethnic composition of the Ottoman Empire. He continues with his journey on the southern coast of the Black Sea to Armenia. The work closes with a short description of Smyrna and Ephesus.
Tournefort is considered the first to have shown the islands of the Archipelago to be “travel material”, as he offered information which inspired the interest for further research, and also highlighed each location’s wealth and uniqueness.

Fransız botanikçi Joseph Pitton de Tournefort (1656-1708) Aix-en-Provence'da varlıklı bir aile içinde doğar, ilk önce tanrıbilim (teoloji) dersleri izler ancak genç yaştan beri doğa bilimlerine eğilim gösterir. Bu yüzden Montpellier'de tıp öğrenimi görüp 1681'de botanik araştırmaları yapmak üzere Barcelona'ya gelir. 1694 yılında üç ciltlik ve 8.846 bitkinin sınıflandırmasına ilişkin ilk eserini yayınlar; 1698'de Paris Tıp Fakültesinden doktor unvanını alır ve bu kazanımı yapıtının latince çevirisi izler. Doktor ve doğa bilimcisi olarak ün salmış, Batı Avrupa'da (İspanya, Portekiz, Hollanda, İngiltere'ye) seyahat etmiş, botanoloji ile ilgili kitaplar yayınlamış, 50.000'e yakın kitaptan meydana gelen bir kitaplık oluşturmuş, ayrıca yerel kıyafet, silah, mineral, deniz kabuğu ve daha başka ilginç şeylerden oluşan hayranlık uyandıran koleksiyonlar sahibi olmuşken, kral 14. Louis ona Kraliyet Botanik Bahçesine yeni bitkiler getirme görevini verir. Tournefort 1700 yılının ilkbaharında, 44 yaşındayken, yanına yoldaş olarak bir ressam ve bir doktor alarak Yakın Doğu'ya doğru yola çıkar.
Ege adalarından 38 tanesini ziyaret eder, Kuzey Anadolu'nun her tarafını gezip Karadeniz ve Ermenistan yörelerine gelir, Tiflis'e varır. Tournefort, 1702 yılının Haziran ayında Marsilya'da karaya ayak basar.
Kaleme aldığı metin (Dışişleri bakanı Kont de Pontchartain'e yolladığı mektuplar biçiminde) ilk olarak 1717'de yayınlanır, bu ilk yayını bir çok yeni baskı izler ve eser ingilizce, almanca ve flamanca gibi dillere- ilk kısmı yunancaya da - çevrilir. Yeni keşfettiği bitkilerin daha önce belirlemiş olduğu sınıflandırma sistemine eklenmesi sonucu olarak 1703'te yeni bir cilt yayınlar. Tournefort botanik profesörü sıfatıyla Akademide dersler verir, doktorluk mesleğini ve bunlara koşut olarak Kraliyet Bahçesinin sorumluluğu görevini sürdürür. Gezilerinden getirmiş olduğu birçok yeni bitki bu bahçede başarılı bir şekilde yetiştirilir. Tournefort geçirdiği birçok maceradan kefeni yırtmışken, üç asır boyunca her gezginin bu bölge için başucu kitabı olacak seyahatnamesinin yayınlanmasını göremeden 1708'de bir kaza sonucu ölür. Bugün hâlâ çeşitli dallardan araştırmacılar Tournefort'un metnine başvurup son derece değerli bilgilerinden faydalanmak durumundalar. Eseri anında ingilizce, hollandaca ve almancaya çevrilmişti.
Gezdiği yerleri betimlerken belirli bir yöntem izleyerek topoğrafya, ekonomi, yönetim, milletler sentezi ve günlük yaşamdaki örf ve adetlere ilişkin bilgiler verirken, Tournefort, bilginin gerçeğe uyup uymadığı konusuna araştırma, düzenli okuma, sınıflandırma ve genelleştirme yoluyla yanaşılabileceğini kanıtlıyor. Kanıtlayıcı belgeleri arasında antik Yunan ve Latin yazarlarından, ayrıca Bizans yazarlarından ve daha eski hümanist bilgin ve gezginlerden 135 tane metin bulunmakta.
Ziyaret ettiği her ada için düzenli olarak ziyaretini anlatıp birçok yeri ve olayı hatta yerlilerle olan görüşmelerini de betimler. Bunlara ek olarak, adanın eski çağlardan gününe dek tarihi ve bununla ilintili efsaneler, sikkeler hakkında, yönetim, vergilendirme usulleri, ticaret, ürünler ve fiyatları hakkında bilgiler verir. Ayrıca Yunanistan'ın dinî (kilise) yaşamına başlıbaşına bir bölüm ayırır. Manastırlar, kiliseler, evlerin mimarisi, mağaralar hakkında yazar, adetler ve kıyafetleri betimleyip halkın uğraşlarından sözeder ve önemli yörelerin her birinin en yüksek irtifasından yaptığı coğrafya gözlemleri ile anlatımını bitirir.
Doğal olarak eserinde şehir, yer, anıt, bitki, alet, ve kıyafet görünümleri ile ilgili gravürler de yer almakta. Ayrıca metni ada halkıyla (Türkler, Latinler, Yunanlılar, korsanlarla) ilişkilerinden çarpıcı betimlemelerle de çeşitlenir. Kitabında hisarlar, gemi barınakları, güvenli limanlar hakkında yaptığı betimlemeler ve harita çizimi ile ilgili verdiği bilgiler özel ilgi uyandıran kısımlar arasındadır.
Eserinin birinci cildinin yayına hazırlığını kendisi denetlemişken ikinci cilt kendi ayrıntılı yazılarına sadık kalınarak basılır. Bu cildin başındaki birçok bölüm Osmanlıların siyasal, yönetimsel ve etnografik durumuna ayrılmıştır. Bunun devamında Karadeniz'in güney kıyılarında yaptığı Ermenistan'a kadar varan yolculuğunu anlatıp kitabı İzmir ve Efes'in kısa bir betimlemesi ile bitirir.
Böylece Tournefort, başkalarında arayış isteğini besleyecek nitelikte malzeme sağlamanın yanısıra, gördüğü her yerin sonsuz zengiliğini ve kendine özgü niteliklerini yüzeye çıkarması açısından Ege adalarına bir "yolculuk uknumu" veren ilk şahıs olarak bilinir.

A postcard published by GG Co. [Gutmann & Gutmann] featuring a 1914 photograph of Enrico Caruso by Rudolf Dührkoop.
Enrico Caruso was born in Naples, Italy on 25th Feb 1873 and died there on 2nd Aug 1921.
He is the most famous tenor, and indeed possibly the most famous opera singer, in history.
It is often said that he made the gramophone and the gramophone made him. He made his first recording for the Gramophone and Typewrite [later Victor / HMV] company during 1902 – but it is possible that his recordings for Zonophone and Pathe [Anglo Italian Commercial Company] predate these by a year or more.
The sales of his discs and his earnings from them was phenomenal.
I'm now an Internationaly Published photographer! FDM magazine, from Asia contacted me through flickr to use my photo in there March 2011 issue. My photo appears on the cover, table of contents and page 26, with photo credit. :)
Sadly, I'm back in Vancouver after 19 absolutely amazing days in Japan. I'm currently about 10 days behind in getting new photos from the trip up on Flickr and waaaaaay behind in looking at all of the great new shots from my Flickr contacts, but I'll catch up eventually.
On my return to Vancouver, I was treated to a package waiting for me in my mailbox: my personal copy of beijing chic. Thanks to Melisa, five of my Beijing shots posted on Flickr were selected to be included in the book:
• Tsinghua University Memorial Gate [page 167]
• Tsinghua Science Park at night [page 168 and back cover]
• Chengfu Lu at night [page 169]
• Lion at Fragrant Hills [page 170]
• Still more to climb (Simatai Great Wall) [page 188]
Thanks again, Melisa!
Oh, and my Flickr stream passed through 25,000 views a few days after I got to Tokyo... thanks to everyone for their visits, kind words, and continued support!
