Woohoo!! to be read like Homer’s “woohoo”
I can’t hold my excitement any longer. As it is apparent from the not so subtle title – you might have guessed it… yes…the Holy Grail for Photographers…National Geographic, yes, the real one – the one with bright canary yellow borders, contacted me to inform me that my pics has been selected as the Grand finalist in the prestigious National Geographic Celebrate Photography issue!
I just faxed the model release form to their NewYork HQ. I donno if its National Geographic’s fascination with traditional Indian culture or her sweet smile or my photographic capabilities – I am glad to be a finalist.
